A cunning gangster, Bert Galvin, is sent to a Florida prison farm after killing an enemy in Miami. He soon learns about the "trustee" system, where guards are rewarded with freedom if they shoot escaping prisoners.

However, Galvin shoots the prisoner before he can escape and claims his freedom. But a determined sheriff is hot on his trail, determined to bring him to justice.
