Synopsis by Hal Erickson
PRC's Marked Men gets under way when hero Bill Carver (Warren Hull) is thrown into jail for a crime he didn't commit. Breaking out, Carver hits upon a clever scheme to exact a confession from the genuine miscreants. Pretending to help five mobsters escape the Law after committing a bank robbery, Carver drives them far, far into the desert, threatening to leave them at the mercy of the vultures and the sun unless one or all of them confess to the frame-up. Isabel Jewell is atypically cast as the good-natured daughter of a small-town physician. Director "Sherman Scott" is actually Sam Newfield, who helmed more PRC films than any other craftsman.
