Although innocent, reporter Frank Ross (James Cagney) is found guilty of murder and is sent to jail. While his friends at the newspaper try to find out who framed him, Frank gets hardened by prison life and his optimism turns into bitterness. He meets fellow-inmate Stacey (George Raft) and they decide to help each other.
Even though he was warned off the story, newspaper reporter Frank Ross (James Cagney) goes ahead with his story of corruption and graft in the awarding of contracts to companies owned by the powerful Hanley (Thurston Hall). They frame him for drunk driving and manslaughter and hes sent to the State penitentiary for 1 to 20 years. Life is tough in prison and the guards are cruel. Intent on eventually proving his innocence, Franks plan is to keep his nose clean and get paroled as soon as possible. He befriends a gangster, Hood Stacey (George Raft), who has a proposition for him: if Frank helps him break out of prison, Stacey will find the truth and get him released.
