A Depression-era thriller about three ex-convicts fighting corrupt authority to build a new life, mixing dark social commentary with modest warmth among the protagonists.

When a trio of ex-convicts led by Mattie Appleyard is released from prison, they hope to open a general store using money Mattie has saved during his 40-year sentence. This attempt is met with great resistance from a corrupt prison official and the banker who issued Mattie the check.
