    People Everywhere Just Want To Be Free

    Lee Patterson is in prison for a crime he didn't commit. His wife, who is in poor health, is about to give birth to their first child. So when the chance comes for him to escape, he does, and proceeds to lead the coppers on a chase, while he tries to find whoever did the crime, and to see his wife and child.

    Or does he? True enough, he wants to see his wife and the baby, but is he the falsely convicted victim he claims? There's nothing in this movie that points to his innocence or guilt, except for his statement and the verdict of the jury. That offers to this movie an ambiguity that is compelling. Even within the context of the movie, some of the policemen trying to capture him have their doubts, rendering their job fraught with more than the usual tension.
