Robert Paige picks up and weds carhop Ellen Drew, proposing to take her to Tennessee. She tells him she's ust gotten off parole; her husband, John McGuire, was a bad, bad man. The night they get married, but before they can get into the trailer to take them there, McGuire is lurking in her apartment with his new girl friend, Judith Barrett. He plans to dump her because he's still mad for Miss Drew. In walks a police detective, who figured he'd turn up there. McGuire shoots him, Paige and Miss Drew are found guilty of the murder. He's scheduled to be hanged, but most of the story concentrates on her side of the prison, where Miss Barrett is already in residence. Boy does she hate Miss Drew!
And so forth. It's a movie full of ridiculous coincidences, bad murder investigations, and plenty of opportunities for Miss Barrett to chew the scenery with some Paramount gloss. The set design is Prison Movie Cyclopean, and director Robert Florey hurries things along in an attempt to hide the unwieldy plot. With John Miljan, Fay Helm, Louise Beavers, Esther Dale, and Marjorie Main.
