Warden Hazen (Eddie Albert) wants a winning football team to represent his prison, and he knows just the person to assure his team of prison guards a victory. He chooses a prisoner who is an ex-pro football player Paul Crewe (Burt Reynolds). To achieve his goal, Warden Hazen makes a deal with Crewe and tells him that if he will put together a team of prisoners and agree to lose to the guards' football team led by Captain Knauer (Ed Lauter), then Crewe will be given parole. The challenge is on, and Crewe forms his team. As game time approaches, will Crewe accept the deal, or will the convicts achieve dignity as winners of the Penitentiary Bowl?
