Synopsis

After failing to climb over the prison wall, a convict simply bursts through the bricks, wriggles out of his arrow-print uniform as two officers grab him and sprints off in his underwear. He rummages through a parcel left on a doorstep for something to wear, then raids a washing line and disguises himself as a woman, briefly fooling a pair of constables before they give chase across a park. Back in his underclothes and now pursued by two policewomen, he runs out of options and ends up knocking at the gate of H.M. Prison Teddington, begging to be let back in.
