THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE.

The film implies that the deeds done to Temple Drake are in recompense for her immorality in falling into a relationship with the gangster instead of fleeing him. The relatively upbeat ending of the film is in marked contrast to the ending of Faulkner's novel Sanctuary, in which Temple perjures herself in court, resulting in the lynching of an innocent man.
