Plot

Young dance band leader, Frank Martin, is condemned to death for a murder he didn't commit. Desperate to prove his innocence, Frank escapes from jail, and with his girlfriend Judy, embarks upon the search for a blonde singer who was used to frame him for the killing. Using a contact who owes Frank a favour, they trace the singer, but the real killer shoots her through a window after she agrees to help them. However, Martin manages to trick the murderer into believing he's killed the wrong woman. When the killer returns to try again, Frank is waiting.
