L'ultimo tentativo (1965)
L'azione si svolge nel sud degli Stati Uniti. Finito in carcere per omicidio, un giovane, quando esce di prigione, è deciso a ricominciare una nuova vita con la moglie e la figlioletta. Appassionato fin da ragazzino di musica, vorrebbe seguire la sua vocazione e incomincia ad esibirsi nei locali della zona, cantando e suonando la chitarra. La sua passione è però contrastata da più parti, e il giovane, rifiutatosi di accettare il lavoro che vorrebbero imporgli, finisce di nuovo in galera.
