Todesangst bei jeder Dämmerung (1939)
Als der Reporter Frank Ross einer Korruption auf die Spur kommt, wird er gnadenlos aus dem Weg geräumt. Mit einem fingierten Autounfall, bei dem es Tote gibt, wird Ross zu einer mehrjährigen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt. In der Anstalt freundet er sich mit dem Gangster Stacey an. Dieser verspricht ihm Beweise für seine Unschuld zu liefern und Frank verhilft ihm während einer Verhandlung zur Flucht. Doch um sein Versprechen einzulösen, muß er wieder zurück in den Knast, wo es zu einem Häftlingsaufstand kommt...
