I Was Framed

Newspaperman Ken Marshall (Ames) has the goods on a crooked politician running for governor, but before he can print the story, he's knocked unconscious and placed behind the wheel of a car, which is then sent speeding down a road to collide with another car--killing three people. Marshall is sent to jail, but escapes and assumes a new identity for several years until a former prison cellmate shows up and attempts to blackmail him.
