The Escape Artist 41 years old

He can get away with anything... that's why they call him The Escape Artist

The young and self-confident Danny blufs at the local police-station that he will escape out of prison within one hour. What follows is a flashback about his childhood with his uncle and aunt, which are 'vaudeville'-artists themselves.
