The story

In 1935, Great Depression-era convicts Ned and Jim, jailed on unspecified charges and abused by a ruthless warden, become escaped convicts when a vicious killer named Bobby escapes the electric chair. The two escape to a small upstate New York town near the Canada–US border, where they are mistaken for a pair of priests who are expected at the local monastery. They want to flee but cannot because misunderstandings and the warden's search party for Bobby make a trip across the bridge to Canada almost impossible.
