Based on John Galsworthy's play, the theme of this film is primarily a denunciation of the practice of shutting up in prison and socially ruining a man who has had the misfortune to kill another in a quarrel. But this is later subordinated to the breathless excitement of the escape from Dartmoor and the varied receptions encountered by the fugitive.
