The story

Joe Hufford is arrested after a fistfight in which a man is killed. District attorney George Knowland knows that Hufford did not intend to kill the man and offers his attorney a viable line of defense, but the attorney refuses to listen and Hufford is convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to prison. Several years into Hufford's sentence, Knowland is appointed as the prison's new warden and gives Hufford a highly desirable job as his personal chauffeur, which mostly involves driving Knowland's pretty daughter Kay around town.
