A convict, "Chick" Miller, is desperate to get out of jail. His cellmate, Slink, says he can get him out on parole, and, sure enough, in a few days he's out of jail. However, he's still not free: one of the members of the parole board is a crime boss, who let Miller out so he could use him in his criminal operations. He meets his end falling down an elevator shaft, and the criminals who were unfairly paroled (other than Miller) will go back to jail. Says Bruce:
You know, it's easy for most people to understand crime doesn't pay, but when a criminal suddenly realizes it, as Miller did, well that's about the best moral lesson there can be!
