Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Road to Ruin is a remake of notorious 1928 exploitationer of the same name, courtesy of the fly-by-night firm of True Life Photoplays (aka Willis Kent Productions). Neglected by her parents, a feisty teenager falls into a bad crowd. She ends up working for a call-girl operation, "servicing" wild parties. Imagine her dismay when, on one assignment, the heroine finds herself in a compromising situation with her own father (Richard Tucker)!
