Framed for murder, Mary Kirk Logan is on death row for killing a man who was blackmailing her family. Mary's boyfriend Dr. Dwight Bradford (Douglas Fowley), a scientist, is also the state executioner who must put his lover to death. Famous criminologist Charles Finch (Lionel Atwill) takes up the case and feverishly works to find the real killer before Mary is executed. A tense crime drama with a nail-biting ending scene where Finch desperately attempts to reach the governor for a stay of execution just minutes before the act is to occur.
