Plot
A power linesman by trade, Lucky Walden owes gambling debts, plus interest, to crooked gamblers. When they come to make him pay, Lucky hits one with a wrench, killing him. He goes to jail and is sentenced to death.
Lucky's one chance is for his brother Steve to find an eyewitness who can testify that Lucky killed the man in self-defense. When the man is found and corroborates that story, Lucky gets a stay of execution. He then earns a full parole by risking his own life in saving a fellow inmate from some dangerous high-voltage wires.
Lucky goes back to his old tricks. He violates his parole, then coaxes Steve into helping him rig the prison's electrical bars to help him escape. Steve's girlfriend Kitty is also attracted to Lucky and wants him out of prison. The cops chase Lucky, who, in a twist of fate, is electrocuted by the wires he knows so well. Steve is sentenced to jail himself, and now regrets helping his no-good brother.
