Glynis Johns and Diana Dors check into prison together and start paying their debt to society. They've both got boyfriends on the outside, but how long can the men be expected to wait? On the other hand, how many inmates in a women's prison ever looked like Diana Dors? In a movie like this one, probability is relative. The flashback episode featuring two scheming old women, a mean old man and a pot of tea spiked with weedkiller would've pleased Alfred Hitchcock. Alternate title: "Young and Willing".
