Plot

Power linesman Lucky Walden kills the crooked gambler who had cheated him. He is convicted and sentenced to death.

Lucky's one chance is for his brother Steve to locate an eyewitness who can testify that Lucky killed the man in self-defense. When the man is found and corroborates the story, Lucky is awarded a stay of execution. He then earns a full parole by risking his life when saving a fellow inmate from some dangerous high-voltage wires.

Lucky returns to his old vices. He violates his parole and is returned to prison. Lucky 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 until he is electrocuted by the electrified wires. Steve is sentenced to jail.
