Versión española de "The Big House", anterior a la implantación del doblaje: se rodaba una película en inglés con actores angloparlantes y otra en español con actores hispanoparlantes.
El argumento, copiado de "The Big House", es:
Kent Marlowe, bajo la influencia del alcohol, atropella y mata accidentalmente a dos personas. Recibe cargos criminales y termina en una prisión cumpliendo 10 años al lado de criminales de diverso pasado; Butch Smith es un avezado criminal, con varias reincidencias, y es quien manda en el bloque de celdas. John Morgan (un individuo agradable que comparte la celda con Kent) es un falsificador que aparentemente se ha regenerado y desea rehacer su vida. Pero no es lo que otros desean para Morgan. Kent es forzado a plantar una navaja entre las pertenencias de John y éste pierde la posibilidad de salir de prisión bajo palabra. Desesperado, John huye de prisión.
Restored by the George Eastman House in 2001, this 1928 serial was considered a “last hurrah” for the silent-era serial, and brought together some of the biggest names of the era: director J.P. McGowan, actors Francis Ford and Joe Bonomo (a carnival strongman-turned-actor), producer Trem Carr (who would later help found Monogram Pictures), and a slew of silent-era supporting icons such as Ruth Hiatt, Grace Cunard, and more. Chapter names like “The Clutching Claw,” “The Devil’s Dice, “Galloping Fury,” and “The Invisible Hand” offer all one needs to know of the film’s concerns: to promise and deliver as much action and suspense as possible, and move our intrepid hero and heroine from one perilous situation to another. One of the biggest stars of the early silent era and a successful serials director in his own right, Francis Ford was the brother of director John Ford.
