| Summary |
Paul Crump robbed the Chicago stockyards on March 20, 1953 with four other black men and shot one guard to death. He was tried and sentenced to die in the electric chair. William Friedkin met Crump in the Cook County Jail. Friedkin was impressed by the "model prisoner", Crump. Friedkin produced this documentary as an impassionate plea for Crump's return to society. |
