Summary[]
Two convicts dig a tunnel to escape from prison, but, after making a detour around a burst water pipe end up in the warden's office. They disguise themselves as painters and walk out through the front gates. They later climb into a limousine carrying two visiting French police chiefs, steal their suits and throw the two men out of the car. Now disguised as dignitaries, the two convicts are driven back to the prison to have dinner with the warden. Later, while visiting the cells, they are recognized and marched back to their own cell.
