This format was well worn on TV and the wireless by the time we got to the movie iteration, and so the production is actually quite refined by the standards of the day. This story centres around a serial criminal John Pinson (Myron Healy) who escapes from prison and gets recaptured with relentless regularity - but each time he increases his network of allies who help him continue to escape. The storyline here is much sturdier than many of the genre; it has a rougher edge to it and makes for quite a compelling B-movie. The narration is grating, but essential to keep the plot moving along towards a fairly obvious but surprisingly involving ending
