Carbine Williams (1952) chronicles the life of David Marshall 'Marsh' Williams, the genuine innovator behind the renowned M-1 Carbine automatic rifle, which played a pivotal role in World War II. The narrative begins with Marsh's unconventional approach to life, leading to his arrest for moonshine distillation and the alleged shooting of a federal officer. Initially, he was sentenced to hard labor on a chain gang, earning him a reputation as a tough case. Later, to accommodate more deserving inmates, he was transferred to a prison farm under the supervision of Captain H.T. Peoples. The Captain, known for his balanced approach to discipline and rehabilitation, saw potential in Marsh. He provided numerous opportunities for Marsh to reform, ultimately allowing him to work in the tool shop during his free time. This led to Marsh's remarkable achievement of designing and constructing a functional rifle within the confines of the prison farm.
