Cameron Mitchell is on a two-year vacation courtesy of the Bureau of Prisons. As his time nears its end, he enjoys reading about Bull Moose Brannigan, a very successful criminal of the 1920s. When his cell mate tells him there's a place in the gang after he gets out, Cameron thinks about it, while the audience sees the career of Brannigan on the screen.

During the War, MGM's CRIME DOES NOT PAY series had a lot of war work, worrying its audience about sabotage and spies and such like. Even so, there was the occasional episode that hearkened back to its roots, looking to warn its audience that the straight and narrow path was the best one. This is a pretty good episode with that message.
