When the intelligent criminal Erwin "Doc" Riedenschneider is released from prison, he seeks a fifty thousand-dollar investment from the bookmaker Cobby to recruit a small gang of specialists for a million-dollar heist of jewels from a jewelry. Doc is introduced to the lawyer Alonzo D. Emmerich who offers to finance the whole operation and buy the gems immediately after the burglary. Doc hires the safe cracker Louis Ciavelli, the driver Gus Minissi, and the gunman Dix Handley to the heist. His plan works perfectly but bad luck and betrayals compromise the steps after the heist and the gangsters need to flee from the police.
Hot out of prison, career criminal Doc Riedenschneider has a penchant for the ladies and enjoys the thrill of a heist. Not one for reformation, he immediately masterminds an elaborate jewel robbery and secures the promise of financial backing from corrupt lawyer and married playboy, Alonzo D. Emmerich. Doc carefully recruits a small group of specialized criminals from the bowels of a familiar bookie joint but still needs his heavy and identifies a kindred spirit in wild card Dix Handley, an adrift soul that just happens to be in the right joint and the wrong time. Former farm boy Dix isnt the commitment type, but something about Docs enthusiasm inspires him to action. Together, the team absorb Docs plan as if it were their path to salvation from a society as spiritually bankrupt as they feel. But even the best-laid schemes of heists by men go awry as co-conspirators are apt to betray and alarms are wired for sound. Featuring Marilyn Monroe in her breakout role.
