    Where to Watch

An innocent inmate suffers the indignities of prison. Lynne Roberts, Virginia Christine, Marian Martin. Sturgis: Richard Powers. Alma: Tala Birell. Harriet: Adele Mara. Smiley: Stephen Barclay. Matron: Geraldine Wall.

Small-town woman Roberts is framed by a man she meets in a big-city night club and finds herself behind bars. The old timers don't take kindly to the newcomer, forcing two camps in the prison to spring up, culminating in a murder. Roberts finally is freed by the efforts of her hometown lawyer, and an interesting women's prison film comes to a close. Two songs sung by the inmates in the prison's recreation room lift that segment of the picture into the extraordinary.
