Synopsis
A man convicted of murder, Alan Grant, tries to convince those about to execute him that it’s all just a recurring nightmare of his. He claims the warden and the lawyers are all people he has known in his waking life now playing the parts in a dream. They ask why he cares about dying if it's all a dream. He explains that he can't get a decent night's sleep because he always wakes up screaming. A stay of execution arrives too late, and the opening scene recurs as he's sentenced to death for murder again, albeit with different people in different roles (e.g. a fellow inmate is now the judge at the trial).TriviaThemes
A similar theme is considered in Perchance to Dream.ReferenceRemake
