Back Pay is a 1930 American Pre-Code drama film with songs, produced and distributed by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., and starring Corinne Griffith and Grant Withers.

Although she has a boyfriend, Gerald Smith, who is in love with her, she deserts him and takes a train to New York with a traveling salesman.

One day, Bevins' friends invite her on a motor trip to Hot Springs, which is about 30 mi (48 km) from her old hometown, which she decides to visit.

She encounters Smith, who, thinking that she is still single and has a job in the city, proposes marriage, but she refuses saying that it is now impossible.

After Smith dies in her arms, Bevins decides to end her sordid relationship with Wheeler and return to working for a living.
