Living in a boardinghouse of tough-talking convicts' wives, the virtuous Nancy Johnson (Linda Darnell) attempts to overturn the sentence of her wrongfully imprisoned fiancé. These rough, raucous women conspire with their inmate husbands to plan a jailbreak. A prison brawl erupt and lands Nancy's love, Tom Adams, on death row. Nancy enlists the help of the drunken and disreputable lawyer Michael Mallory (Edgar Buchanan) to prove Tom's innocence. Mallory ignore her pleas until evidence arises in Tom's favor. In a stirring eleventh-hour appeal to the court, Mallory must convince the jury to overturn the original conviction before it's too late.
