A mechanic is convicted of a murder he did not commit and sent to prison, and ends up killing a guard in self-defence. His lawyers must prove the inmate is innocent of the original charge to avoid his being sentenced to death. Drama, starring Gary Graham, Lee Grant, Diana Scarwid and Robert Culp.

Thwarted by his despotic uncle from continuing his love affair, a young man's thoughts turn dark as he dwells on ways to deal with his uncle. Becoming convinced that murder is merely a natural part of life, he kills his uncle and hides the body. However, the man's conscience awakens; paranoia sets in and nightmarish visions begin to haunt him.
