  This powerful story, based on the autobiography of Robert E. Burns, concerns an innocent man, James Allen (Paul Muni) who went through Hell-on-Earth at the hands of a Southern justice system. After escaping the chain gang once only to be turned in later by scorned wife Helen (Glenda Farrell), he again escapes. This is not a pleasant story, but it is one that should hold the watcher's attention. The ending is classic.
