“HIS LIFE WAS A LIVING HELL until he killed the thing that Crushed him!”

A condemned murderer in the process of being executed relives the events that led to his being sentenced to die in the electric chair. Told in flashback we witness a sleazy dancehall girl (Vivienne Osborne) dupe a high rise riveter (Edward G. Robinson) into marriage so she can live off of him. But when he loses his job and his marbles she ends up supporting him with money from her side man--and misses no opportunity to rub it in Robinson's face that she's now supporting him in his emasculated state. As the animosity grows and things get more and more unbearable for Robinson he is eventually driven to desperate measures.
