Cell

The door shuts with a dull metal clang. Professor van Dusen is locked in the Condemned Cell – Cell 13. Between him and freedom are the cell walls, 7 locked steel doors, an 18-foot high wall, and 25 yards of clear ground lit by searchlights. He claims he will “think” his way out. Will he do it? Or, will be become a laughing stock?
