Tommy (Frankie Darro) takes a burglary rap for Eddie, his troubled teenage friend and housemate. He is remanded to the State Industrial School, a reformatory for boys where a cruel prison guard and a prison doctor give inmates a dose of their own special medicine. There is plenty of action in this 1939 prison tale, including an escape plot, an armed robbery and cops-and-robbers automobile chases.

Two young strangers are framed after a daring daylight jewelry store heist. Unable to convince a judge of their innocence, both Phillip and Bonnie are sentenced to 18 months in jail. After being paroled for good behavior, they try to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives. Ostracized by society and facing the harsh reality of constant suspicion, the two are drawn together and nurture strength in their growing love for one another.T
