"An ex-con’s plans to run straight are upset when a gang of thugs get him mixed up in a bank robbery and leave him as the prime suspect. Once he is freed from charge, he seeks revenge on his robbers on a trail that leads to Mexico and gets him involved in an affair with the daughter of an ex-cop. One of the stand out film noirs, with great characters and a solid and entertaining storyline, as well as an unmistakable feeling of casual cool running through it."
