Synopsis by Hal Erickson

While performing a show at a Federal penitentiary, the Partridges are approached by convict Hank (Stuart Margolin), who claims to have written some poems that he hopes the family will set to music. It turns out that Hank will go to any extreme to get the poems performed, even faking a measles epidemic to "quarantine" the family behind prison walls. As it happens, however, Hank is a complete phony: the actual author of the poems is tough cell-block leader Max (Ronald Feinberg), who would just as soon crack a few skulls rather than reveal his artistic aspirations! Songs: "Singing My Song" and "Only a Moment Ago".
