El presidio (1930)
Kent Marlowe, bajo la influencia del alcohol, atropella y mata accidentalmente a dos personas. Recibe cargos criminales y termina en una prisión cumpliendo 10 años al lado de criminales de diverso pasado; Butch Smith es un avezado criminal, con varias reincidencias, y es quien manda en el bloque de celdas. John Morgan (un individuo agradable que comparte la celda con Kent) es un falsificador que aparentemente se ha regenerado y desea rehacer su vida. Pero no es lo que otros desean para Morgan. Kent es forzado a plantar una navaja entre las pertenencias de John y éste pierde la posibilidad de salir de prisión bajo palabra. Desesperado, John huye de prisión... (FILMAFFINITY)
