With her are two other| nurses, Bernadene Hayes and Min- | erva Urecal At the prison, Marian falls in love | with a young doctor who has been | convicted of a “mercy-death.” Henry | Wilcoxon does an excellent por- | trayal of this character. Ben Welden, playing a desperate killer, engineers a prison break with | the aid of Ray Mayer, also playing an inmate. They force Wilcoxon to 70 with them, so that he can per-| form an operation on Welden’s face| once they are outside. A guard is | killed in the break. | They are captured, and all but | Wilcoxen are killed. The doctor has no way of proving that he was | forced into the break and he is| | convicted of the guard’s murder nd sentenced to death. John Ariedge, another conviet |and Marian, learn that Mayer kept |a diary of everything he did.
