Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Arnie Judlow (Jack Palance) is an inmate at California’s San Quentin prison. Arnie arranges with his honest brother Bill (also Jack Palance but not a twin) to escape by having Bill sneak into the prison and pose as Arnie. The scheme soon falls apart when Arnie’s wife Ruth (Barbara Lang) shows up.

Purr Blur: Bill (posing as Arnie) is in a prison cell and sees a tuxedo cat walking by. Cats were allowed to wander around the prison to catch mice and rodents.
