When almost all their appeals against the execution got denied, they play the appeal on his mental condition... A doctor confirms he's nuts but the guards of MSU, Sergeant Packer and Colonel Nugent, know him for years and they testify against it. the appeal gets denied and it looks like Sam is going to die... The next 24hours are horrible, the waiting to death kills Sam even more, then at just midnight he must go into the gas chamber.
