Few studios churned out prison pictures with as much frequency as
Columbia Pictures. In Men Without Souls, young Johnny Adams (Glenn
Ford) deliberately gets himself thrown in prison to accumultate
incriminating evidence against Capt. White (Cy Kendall), the sadistic
guard responsible for death of Johnny's father. Unfortunately Johnny is
swept up in a prison break engineered by cell-block boss Blackie Drew
(Barton MacLane), which culminates in the murder of White. Our hero is
saved from the electric chair through the intervention of obligatory
prison chaplain Reverend Storm (John Litel). Meanwhile, Johnny's
true-blue girlfriend Susan Leonard (Rochelle Hudson) awaits the outcome
of events on "the outside".
