"A woman, disregarding the advice of friends, runs to Canada with her man, a hoodlum, unaware that he has just committed a robbery and killed a man. When both are arrested for a minor offence, they are both sent to a prison camp after the man pleads guilty to save himself and find a hideout. Underrated prison drama of the best kind, with lots of dramatic background and underlying social comments to make  this thrilling story more tense and suspenseful."
