Murder In The Big House.

Death row inmate "Dapper Dan" Malloy (Michael Ames) intends to incriminate some top officials complicit in corruption and the murder of the district attorney for which Malloy and his criminal associate "Mile-Away" Gordon (Roland Drew) were sentenced to death in the electric chair. Malloy's lawyer falsely comforts Malloy with the claim that the governor will pardon him after first commuting the sentence to life imprisonment during a radio speech. Meanwhile, "Scoop" Conner (George Meeker), top investigative reporter for the Morning News, visits Malloy in prison.
