Daily life at men and women's prison units where baseball and the marching band are serious business. Two prisoners escape in order to help paroled Steve from being blackmailed by his girlfriend's ex-partner-in-crime.
Can a desperate escape from prison actually clear a man's name and fix his broken life? This early pre-code romp trades heavy drama for the chaotic energy of inmates obsessed with baseball and marching bands.
