Big House U.S.A (1955) follows the story of Danny Lambert, a young boy who escapes from a camp in south-central Colorado, triggering a large-scale search by his affluent father, Robertson Lambert. Danny is discovered by Jerry Barker, who instead of helping, sees an opportunity for ransom. Barker demands $200,000 from the father and buries most of the money after receiving it. Tragically, Danny falls to his death from an abandoned look-out tower, and Barker disposes of the body. The FBI, under the leadership of James Madden, apprehends Barker but can only convict him of extortion, resulting in a five-year sentence at Casabel Island Prison. In prison, Barker is cellmates with Rollo Lambar, Alamo Smith, Benny Kelly, and Machine Gun Mason. The FBI uncovers a connection between Barker and Emily Evans, a nurse at Danny's camp. The cellmates, led by Rollo, devise a plan to kill Benny and dress him in Barker's clothes to mislead the authorities.
