Johnny (Dennis Moore) has been sent up-river for forging a ten-dollar check to buy medicine for his sickly mother. His new cellmate Red Manson (Barton MacLane), one of the toughest cons in the joint, is plotting his escape from the pen - a breakout scheme that has Johnny caught dead in the middle. Meanwhile, Father Joe (Charles Bickford), the prison's chaplain, is trying desperately to lead Johnny down the path of righteousness. As the countdown to the prison break begins, Johnny must choose whether to join the group of mutineers as they square off against the prison guards or whether to fight against them. Unfortunately for Johnny, both choices may lead to a terrible end… (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
