Edward Arnold's character


Wasn't exactly a nobody in his public life. The warden could have easily checked the newspapers or even the college records to find out that Tyrone Power's character was indeed his son rather than keeping Power locked up in the hole for days then taking him to see if an almost dead man could id him as his son.

You're right of course, but this is a Hollywood story and pretty typical of the genre to go for a dramatic if incredulous climax. This sort of story you have to accept for what it is to enjoy.
