That is until he comes across an esoteric law that will allow the patient a new trial if he can escape and stay out of the hospital for twenty-eight days. With nothing to lose he breaks free, stumbling upon a remote cottage and a captivating woman whose husband is out of town... Will he evade capture long enough to get a retrial? Will his hostage keep her mouth shut? Is everything exactly as it seems? Monte Doyle's suspenseful thriller was made into a film shortly after its stage premiere in 1963 starring Joanne Woodward.
