Lounge singer Terry Moore is framed for the murder of her manager-boyfriend when he is killed during a robbery at a nightclub by gangsters from her past. While they go on the lam, she is arrested and sentenced to death. The real killer also ends up in the same prison, where she is harassed by the other prisoners until she confesses. Full of plot twists and action worthy of an old Monogram picture, but Moore's overwrought performance reduces it to so much melodrama.
