Arrested as an accomplice of the gang, Bill is sent to jail despite the belief of Sheriff Lawson that the boy is innocent. Lawson has an idealistic plan of establishing a work prison camp to which young first offenders may be sent in order to keep them apart from the hardened criminals in the prisons. Bill is sent to Lawson\u0027s camp and is assigned to work on a road job on which a crooked contractor is defaulting. Realizing that the road is about to be completed, the contractor bribes Chester Russell, the county engineer, to sabotage the project. Following the unheeded warning Sheriff Lawson gives Russell about a dangerous safety condition on the work site, a rockslide occurs and some of the prisoners are injured. Meanwhile, Bill, discouraged when the court rejects his appeals, decides to break out of jail with Slugger Martin, Russell\u0027s operative in the sabotage attempts. After the break, Bill seeks refuge at Ann\u0027s, while Martin and the others are intercepted and gunned down by the police. Tracking Bill to Ann\u0027s house, Lawson tells him that in a deathbed confession Martin exonerated him of any complicity in the gang, and he is now a free man.\n\nA 1940 Larry Darmour production for Columbia Pictures, directed by Lewis D. Collins, from a screenplay written by Albert DeMond, based on a story by Albert DeMond \u0026 Stanley Roberts.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Jack Holt","code":"nm0392442","characters":"Sheriff Lawson"},{"name":"Marian Marsh","code":"nm0550620","characters":"Ann Baldwin"},{"name":"Robert Barrat","code":"nm0056719","characters":"Chester Russell"},{"name":"Phillip Terry","code":"nm0856062","characters":"Bill Harding"},{"name":"Dennis Moore","code":"nm0601117","characters":"Slugger Martin"},{"name":"Jack La Rue","code":"nm0479011","characters":"Red Nelson"},{"name":"George Offerman Jr.","code":"nm0644404","characters":"Ted Baldwin"},{"name":"Frankie Burke","code":"nm0121685","characters":"Sobby Taylor"},{"name":"Donald Haines","code":"nm0354239","characters":"Burly Bascomb"},{"name":"Alan Baldwin","code":"nm0049854","characters":"Jerome Davis"},{"name":"Frank LaRue","code":"nm0479008","characters":"Robert O\u0027Brien"},{"name":"Ernest Morrison","code":"nm0425409","characters":"Chuckles"},{"name":"John Hamilton","code":"nm0357963","characters":"Undetermined Role"},{"name":"Russell Hicks","code":"nm0382954","characters":"Undetermined Role"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"criminal gang"},{"text":"prison camp"},{"text":"jail"},{"text":"escape from jail"},{"text":"deathbed confession"}],"production":[{"id":"co0130983","text":"Larry Darmour Productions"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
