Raw Deal

After rough-and-tumble Joe Sullivan breaks out of jail, instead of enjoying freedom, he falls smack into a "Raw Deal." His squeeze, Pat Regan, helps him flee the Big House, and immediately afterward, the escaped con takes a prisoner of his own, do-gooder Ann Martin, as a bargaining chip. Joe barely eludes the police, but he arranges a secret meeting with his former boss, mob big-shot Rick Coyle. Rick, though, has in store for Joe a most wicked fate. As if this crisscross of law and lawlessness was not enough, Joe becomes attracted to Ann -- much to Pat's chagrin. (Verleiher-Text)
