Four prison inmates have been hatching a plan to literally dig out of jail when another prisoner Claude Gaspard is moved into their cell. They take a risk and share their plan with the newcomer. Over the course of three days the prisoners and friends break through the concrete floor using a bed post and begin to make their way through the sewer system -- yet their escape is anything but assured.
