Plot
Three dangerous convicts—Larry Doyle, Kelly Dillon, and Mike Masters—escape from the state penitentiary in a daring nighttime breakout. Law enforcement quickly mobilizes a widespread manhunt, broadcasting alerts across the region. Among the escapees is Doyle (LeRoy Mason), a former bank cashier wrongfully convicted of robbery, who now seeks to prove his innocence and expose the real culprit: suave and corrupt financier Ralph Dexter (Walter Miller).
The pursuit leads the convicts to Pleasant Valley, home of the Sanderson Lodge, where Dexter is staying. Unbeknownst to the authorities, Dexter was the true mastermind behind the bank robbery and framed Doyle to cover his tracks. Complicating matters is Dexter’s engagement to Sally Sanderson (Drue Leyton), Doyle’s former sweetheart.
Doyle makes contact with Sally’s younger brother, Slivers (Frankie Darro), who still believes in Doyle’s innocence. Disguised as a ranger, Doyle attempts to elude capture and gather evidence against Dexter, even as Dillon and Masters grow more dangerous and unpredictable.
As the convicts take Sally hostage and retreat to a remote mountain cabin, tensions rise. A final confrontation ensues when Doyle forces Dexter into a showdown, exposing his crimes and locating the stolen money hidden in the hills. With the help of Slivers and sympathetic ranger Fred (Grant Withers), Doyle clears his name.
The film ends with the criminals either dead or apprehended, Dexter under arrest, and Doyle exonerated. Reunited with Sally, Doyle looks forward to a future free from injustice and betrayal.
