i can't honestly say it was the most exciting movie i have watched recently, but it did keep me entertained, and that is what movies are all about. James Allen(Muni) is wrongly accused of stealing from a burger stand and sent to prison to serve on a chain gang, and he can't handle being punished for a crime he did not commit, so he finds a way to escape and somehow gets away with calling himself Allen James instead of James Allen and gets a job on a construction crew, and a few years later once he is rich and famous he is found out by the authorities and taken back to the chain gang under the supervision of the same guard he escaped from the first time around.
