Framed

“He was taken by everyone, for everything he had. All he had left was one obsession. To get even. To pay them back two for one.”

Synopsis

Joe Don Baker plays a gambler who is framed for a crime he did not commit. A corrupt legal system leads him into a plea bargain and four years behind bars. By the time he gets out of prison, he's determined to put together the pieces of his frame-up and dole out the justice he was denied to those responsible.
