After a state senators bill to abolish chain gangs is rejected by the Senate, newspaper reporter Cliff Roberts Kennedy persuades his boss Pop ODonnel Harry Cheshire at the liberal Capitol City Evening Standard to arrange for him to go undercover in a chain gang prison. Equipped with false employment records and a tiny microfilm camera disguised as a cigarette lighter, he tells everyoneincluding girlfriend Rita McKelvey Marjorie Lord, a reporter for a rival newspaperthat he is going on a fishing trip, but actually heads for Cloverdale Prison Farm in the deep south, scene of recent incidents which left three inmates dead. The prisons Captain Duncan Emory Parnell supplies labour in the form of chain gangs, which are ostensibly for state construction projects but in reality are being exploited by Ritas stepfather, local entrepreneur John McKelvey Thurston Hall, for his construction projects. Working as a guard, Roberts secretly photographs prison conditions, arriving in time to witness the recapturing of an escaped inmate who is sent for an overnight stay in the sweatbox as punishment. Roberts is supplied with a bullwhip and is required to use it when a convict Snead William Phillips is caught covering up for another inmate who cant work well enough at the construction site. Under Captain Duncans orders, Roberts reluctantly flogs Snead at the whipping post. Later he visits Snead in solitary confinement to apologise for the whipping and gains the inmates trust. Roberts secret photographs are published in the newspaper, much to McKelveys consternation. A foreman on the construction project who knows Roberts as Jack Granger sees his photograph in McKelvey house. His cover blown, Roberts uses the confusion of fellow prisoner Sneads escape to make a run for it. The two men try to outrun the guards and their dogs across wilderness and through woodland. Roberts is shot and left for dead by Captain Duncan, who later pins the blame on Snead. Roberts eventually makes it to safety and is reunited with Rita. Snead is killed while on the run and McKelvey is charged with the exploitation of convict labor for personal gain.
