Red O'Hara serves a prison sentence after being framed by Dude Merrill. Once he is released, he gets a job as a news photographer. Red takes a mug shot of a big talking new inmate as he does his prison job. Minutes later Red is paroled for no apparent reason and is a free man. Although the newspaper is hesitant to hire an exconvict he catches a break by taking pictures of his former gang members. This is about an excon who is confronted by his old ways catch up with him. Red takes revenge on his old gang members by taking photos of their bank robbery.
