Men Without Souls is a 1940 black and white crime movie, starring Barton MacLane and Glenn Ford and directed by Nick Grinde.
Johnny Adams goes to prison, under a false name, with the intention of killing the sadistic Captain White, a bastard guard, who had beaten Johnny's father to death just before the end of his sentence.
Not knowing Johnny's true identity, White asks him to spy on his cellmate "Blackie" Drew, but Johnny and Blackie develop a mutual respect for one another.
Thomas Storm, the prison's idealistic new chaplain, well-meaning but seen by the prisoners as a fink, learns of Johnny's plan and persuades him to give it up and do his time peacefully, but when "Blackie" quietly kills White, he frames Johnny out of misguided spite.
