520    Martel Gordone is a hitch-hiker who gets into a fight with
       a pair of bikers over a prostitute. One of the bikers dies
       and Martel finds himself in prison with the moniker "Too 
       Sweet" because of his love for candy bars. Soon he is a 
       hardened but pragmatic inmate who joins the prison boxing 
       team in an effort to secure an early parole. But standing 
       in his path is Half Dead Johnson, a member of the prison's
       most violent gang. Half Dead's sadistic cruelty and Too 
       Sweet's raw determination culminate in a brutal and 
       shocking climax.
