Jailhouse Shock

Through the bars, the old goat roughly seizes
The poor guard, on his throat tightly squeezes
With no air, passing out,
He can't swear, he can't shout
Trying hard to emote, he just wheezes.

In House of Frankenstein (Erle C. Kenton, 1944), prisoner Boris Karloff strangles guard Charles Wagenheim for a piece of chalk.
