Stephen Danel (Peter Lorre) lures paroled convicts to his isolated island where they are forced to work as slaves for life. Government agent Mark Sheldon aka "64" (Robert Wilcox) allows himself to be convicted of a murder he did not commit so that he can spend time in prison and then be paroled to work on Danel's island. It turns out that Danel's beautiful wife, Lorraine Danel (Rochelle Hudson), is a prisoner too.
