After losing his job as head of a famous school, Dr Benjamin Twist applies for a job as Governor of the nearby prison. In a case of mistaken identity, he is awarded the job, but on his first day there is a mutiny and again he is confused for someone else - a prisoner! After his experience, he vows to reform the prison. Cells are to come complete with electric fires and cosy armchairs. When he sets up a business amongst the prisoners, all seems to be going swimmingly, but will the temptation of money lead them astray? A biting comedy.
