The movie is told in flashback, narrated by Edmond O'Brien, who plays Gaddis, the author of the book upon which the movie is based.
Robert Stroud is imprisoned as a young man for committing a murder in Alaska. He is shown as a rebellious inmate, fighting against a rigid prison system. In an early scene he breaks open the window of a prison train, to allow the suffocating inmates to breathe.
He is sentenced to life in prison after stabbing a guard who denied him a visit from his mother (Thelma Ritter). The terms of the sentence require that he be kept in solitary confinement for the rest of his life. His rebellious attitude--portrayed in the film as justifiable--puts him in conflict with the warden of Leavenworth Prison (Karl Malden).
