Lucy Owens robs a safe in a mansion where she used to work. She is spotted by the butler but the other girl Claire gets away. She's jealous of Ann Turner (Jill Ireland) over a musician named Tom and frames her as her accomplice. Ann is sentenced to three years and gets imprisoned along with Lucy. The Matron is trying to be a modern reformer while the brutal Miss Smith has other ideas. Mary becomes Ann's only prisoner friend.
Tom is really dumb. His ex is caught stealing and his new girlfriend is supposedly her partner. Sometimes, I call movie characters too dumb to live. Tom starts out as one of those. In the real world, he would be called to testify. In order to make the movie not dumb, he needs to be scared of being pulled into the whole affair. He wouldn't want to be called a co-conspirator. Anyways, it would be better for the story to have him abandon her. It needs to be her alone against the world. As for her escape, she needs a better reason like Miss Smith telling her that she is going to hang her next. Like a lot of this movie, the writing is not quite well thought out. This is not good enough to be taken serious and it's definitely not camp.
