A convict in a prison hospital is set to return to death row when he is better, so he doesn't want the doctor to dismiss him. A fellow prisoner across the room has a window view, and the convict is pleasantly surprised to learn that there are no bars on the window. He resolves to make a break for it after nightfall, but, when he slips out the window, he learns the reason there are no bars is that the hospital room is several stories above the ground.
