"Bob" (Ben Alexander) works for "Borden" (Ralph Morgan) and is keen on his daughter "Lois" (Kay Linaker). All is going well until some bonds goes missing and the boss, reluctantly to be fair, concludes that "Bob" is the culprit and off to jail he goes. Once incarcerated, he becomes bitter towards his erstwhile employer swearing vengeance with his cellmate "Todd" (Eddie Acuff). After five years, new evidence proves that he was innocent. His former employer, wracked with guilt, offers to try and make things right - but will "Bob" accept, or will he follow through with this designs on revenge. The story is quite interesting, asking the question what might we do in that situation - on either side of the prison bars. The execution is really pretty lacklustre, though. The direction and performances are static, and Linaker is really wooden. It does pack quite a bit into an hour, and is a decent example of a B-feature that moves along quickly and efficiently, if entirely unremarkably.
