Lucas "Luke" Jackson is sentenced to two years in prison for cutting parking meters off their poles. He is sent to a Florida chain gang prison run by a stern warden and a stoic rifleman. Luke refuses to observe the established pecking order among the prisoners and quickly runs afoul of the prisoners' leader, Dragline. After a visit from his sick mother, Arletta (Jo Van Fleet), Luke becomes more optimistic about his situation. He continually confronts the Captain and the guards, and his sense of humor and independence prove to be contagious and inspiring to the other prisoners.
