Joe Sullivan (Dennis OKeefe) is itching to get out of prison. Hes taken the rap for Rick (Raymond Burr), who owes him $50,000. Rick sets up an escape for Joe, knowing that Joe will be caught escaping and be shot or locked away forever. But with the help of his love-struck girl Pat (Claire Trevor) and his sympathetic legal caseworker Ann (Marcia Hunt), Joe gets further than hes supposed to, and we are posed with two very important questions: Is Joe really the cold and heartless criminal he appears to be, or is there a heart of gold under that gritty exterior? And does Joe belong with the tough, street-wise Pat, or with the prim, moralizing Ann?
Joe Sullivan (Dennis OKeefe) is in the state prison taking the blame for the gangster Rick Coyle (Raymond Burr) who owes him US $50,000. Joe is visited by the young Ann Martin ( Marcia Hunt) who works at the law firm which is defending him and she tells that after three years, Joe will certainly be on probation. However, his lover Pat (Claire Trevor) also visits him and tells that Rick has plotted an escape for him during the night. What they do not know is that the sadistic Rick wants to get rid off Joe and expects that Joe will be shot or caught during the prison break. Joe succeeds in the escape and Pat drives the getaway car. However, the car is shot in the gas tank by the police officers, and they run out fuel. Joe brings Pat to Anns house expecting to have a hideout for a couple of days, but Ann tries to call the police believing that she would help Joe. They escape in Anns car with her as a hostage and head to Crescent City, where Joe expects to meet Rick to receive his money and travel to South America with Pat. But Rick sends a hit man (John Ireland as Fantail) to kill Joe while Pat feels that she is losing Joe to Ann who has fallen in love with him. Will Pat and Joe have the chance to travel together to South America?
