THE BIG HOUSE.

Kent (Robert Montgomery) is a drunk driver who carelessly kills a man. He is placed in a cell with Butch (Butch) and Morgan (Morgan) the two leaders of the inmates. When Butch is ordered into solitary confinement for sparking a protest over the prison food, he passes along his knife before being searched. Meanwhile, Morgan is notified that he is to be paroled. When Morgan is let out of solitary, he escapes by switching places with a corpse on the way to the morgue. Butch shoots the warden's right-hand man in cold blood, then tosses the dying man
