- Plot: Dottie Manson (Debra Paget) commits a murder for which club singer Lois King (Terry Moore) is arrested, tried, and condemned to die. The story line wanders through the trial and Miss King's final hours on Death Row. The true killer is finally ready to confess, but already Miss King (who has by now been strapped into the electric chair) is at risk. Will she be rescued in the nick of time?
