Millionaires in Prison

An upgrade in the per capita wealth of a certain prison population with the addition of some wealthy folks. Two millionaires who you know inherited their loot Thurston Hall and Raymond Walburn at their bloviating best. Two others played by Morgan Conway and Chester Clute who actually continue their crooked ways conning the cons with some phony mining stock. Some are just incorrigible. Also in a character based on the protagonist in Magnificent Obsession is Truman Bradley a wealthy playboy doctor who was doing research into tropical diseases but got into a bad drunk driving incident. He's working out his rehabilitation working in the prison hospital under Dr. Selmer Jackson.

All this and other cons look up to Lee Tracy who while Thomas Jackson is the warden, it's Tracy who knows the system and how to survive in the joint best. Even the guards tell the prisoners to take their cues from Tracy.

With some cons like Shemp Howard, Horace McMahon, and Cliff Edwards these guys make serving time look like enforced summer camp. Still millionaires in prison has quite a few laughs to it. With a cast like this you would expect it so.
