The Escape Artist

"The remarkable story of an unusual boy who takes on the world...and wins."

The young and self-confident Danny bluffs at the local police-station that he will escape from prison within an hour. What follows is a flashback showing his childhood with his uncle and aunt, who are 'vaudeville'-artists themselves.
