I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang

I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang

1932

Jaded World War I veteran James Allen (Paul Muni) dreams of creating a new life, but those dreams are shattered when he is implicated in a robbery and sentenced to 10 years on a chain gang. The brutal prison conditions compel James to break out and flee to Chicago, where he assumes a new identity and, over time, becomes a successful businessman. His freedom and happiness are threatened, however, when his scheming landlady (Glenda Farrell) discovers his secret and threatens to blackmail him.

Hers was the Kiss of Judas...He was CRUCIFIED on the chain gang!
