A Fool in Prison

Virgil (played by Woody Allen) is a stupid child with a low IQ. However, being born in a slum has left the gene of crime flowing in his blood. As if he was born to commit crime, Virgil never considered any other way out. In this way, after a failed cash truck robbery, Virgil was imprisoned. Taking advantage of an opportunity to become the subject of a drug experiment, Virgil was paroled. However, after being released from prison, Virgil remained stubborn and continued to live a life full of sin. A botched robbery leads Virgil to meet the laundress Louise (Janet Margolin), and the two fall in love at first sight. In order to become a man who can be relied on, Virgil is determined to continue his promising job of robbing banks. With the help of that worrying IQ, Virgil was imprisoned again... This film is Woody Allen's true debut. It tells a ridiculous and ridiculous story in the form of a pseudo-documentary, and also laid the style for the subsequent "The Legend of Seili".
