There Is No Escape

American crime writer Nick Allen is hired to expose the life of petty crook Sidney Robertson (Charles Stuart) who recently came to a bad end. Allen learns that Robertson's problems began when he was a teenager. Having little parental control he fell in with the wrong people and, after robbing a house, was sent to prison. Released early for good behaviour, Roberston found work as Mr. Ashcroft's chauffeur, but he soon weakened and stole from his employer. After being caught stealing cars, Robertson was arrested and sent to prison for seven years, but soon escaped.
