17 year old Henri Young (Bacon) steals five dollars from a grocery store to feed his little sister. He is caught, his sister is sent to an orphanage and he never sees her again, and unfortunately for him, the grocery store also housed a post office, making the crime a federal offense. He is sent to Alcatraz where he attempts escape and is foiled by a fellow inmate, leaving him sentenced to solitary confinement in the basement of the island prison. Upon his release, he has a psychotic episode in which he stabs his betrayer to death with a spoon. James Stamphill (Slater) is to defend him, alleging that Alcatraz drove him insane.
