The story

Joaquin Shannon, a fisherman, takes the blame for a crime to protect his brother-in-law Chris Nelson, whom he thinks accidentally killed the odious Joe Fenderson in a drunken brawl, but who really died from injuries from a mugging. He is sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime. Joaquin asks Joe's sister and his girlfriend Jean Fenderson to wait for him, expecting to be paroled in one year for good behavior.
