A retired judge works with his last defendant to follow up on cases that were dismissed due to technicalities.

Race-driver Mark McCormick, tricked into stealing an experimental car, comes before Judge Milton Hardcastle.

Retiring Judge Hardcastle offers McCormick an unusual deal, help him fight crime or go to prison.

Mark violates parole by sheltering his ex-cellmate, who later holds up the judge's weekly poker game.

A convict (Robert Desiderio), seeking revenge on Hardcastle, escapes with the help of the warden's wife.
