Butch escaped the facility determined to get revenge on those who had framed him, starting with his attorney, Paul Lowe, who, in collusion with the real culprits, had betrayed him for money. Butch tried to contact his girlfriend, stripper Eve Martin, but she was involved with Detective Dick Chasen, the police officer who brought Butch to justice, and who was actually the leader of the plot.
