Condemned!

Based on the novel by Blair Niles. Ronald Colman, in his second sound film (BULLDOG DRUMMOND being the first), plays a suave thief condemned to Devil's Island. His good manners have gotten him a job inside the warden's house (Dudley Digges, who also doubled as dialog director). Digges' wife, Ann Harding, is as tasty a bit of fluff as you ever did see, and it isn't long before she and Colman fall in love. He is sent to solitary confinement, but an escape is planned to coincide with Harding's return to France. They get away together, have a series of hair-raising adventures in the swamps, and are caught in her stateroom aboard the ship going to France. Colman utters a memorable line before being apprehended: "I thought this was going to be an escape and it turns into a yacht race." Colman is returned to finish out his sentence, and the picture ends when the lovers are united in Paris. (texte officiel du distributeur)
