When a young country singer hitches a ride with a drunk driver who runs down a little girl, he takes the rap, gets double-crossed by a corrupt lawyer, and is sentenced to hard time on a brutal Southern chain gang. No one has ever escaped from Prison Camp #4 but this kid is going to try! In his big screen debut, Gregg Henry plays the convict on the run, while George Kennedy plays the snarling, sadistic foreman hot on his trail.
