Ironside (Raymond Burr) and Mark (Don Mitchell) show up at a prison, ostensibly to receive information about a recent crime. Instead, the pair has been lured into a trap by three desperate convicts who intend to use the Chief's van to make their getaway. How can Ironside turn this situation around to his advantage--especially since the convicts are also holding hostage the wife (Virginia Gregg) of the prison's warden (Arthur Space. Contrary to previously published reports, the role of convict Terry Wilson is not played by former child star Jackie Coogan, but instead by Coogan's son Jackie Jr. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ironside (Raymond Burr) is counting upon African American pro-football hero Charles "Bat" Masterson (Ivan Dixon) to help keep a group of inner-city kids on the straight and narrow. But Masterson is preoccupied with keeping his parolee brother Joe (Don Marshall) out of trouble--and is even willing to take a manslaughter rap for Joe's sake. It falls to Ironside to figure a way to save Masterson from his own tragically misguided sense of family loyalty. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
