At the beginning of World War II, Sandy Grey wants to sign up to fight, but is stopped by his father, who has other ideas for his son's life. When Sandy fights back, he is sent to an asylum. There, unsure of exactly what he is doing there, he tries to keep himself sane by writing about a man who was wrongly accused of murder many years before and died in the asylum when it was a jail. Sandy hopes that by proving this man innocent, he will also be able to prove to the asylum authorities that he is able to live a normal life. He is helped in his mission by a doctor who is on his side and a widow, who has her own problems, but thwarted by a psychopathic asylum assistant, who takes an instant dislike to Sandy. Will Sandy be able to prove that he is sane?
