Plot Synopsis

Women’s prison drama with humour and thrills, but no big stars. Jailed for injuring a man in self defence, Angie (Beverly Michaels), makes an escape bid during a Christmas concert to keep a intended rendezvous with her boyfriend Nick (Paul Carpenter), who discharges himself from hospital to keep the date. Angie also helps fellow escapee Marguerite (April Olrich) prevent her baby being sent to an orphanage before giving herself up.
