Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A con man in debt and down on his luck comes up with what he thinks is the perfect caper--robbing a small-town bank that keeps a lot of money on hand because of the payroll of a nearby army base. He convinces a vicious crime boss to bankroll his scheme, but when he and his boss' girl move into the town to make preparations for the heist, he begins to have second thoughts about the whole operation.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The radio announcement during the BBQ dinner scene was made through a Zenith Trans-Oceanic 600 Series Portable Radio. These radios were known for their heavy-duty, high-quality construction and their performance as shortwave receivers. See more » |
| Goofs | When Frank Harper (Rory Calhoun) is driving in the opening scenes, camera views of him from in front of the car through the windshield show the car to have no rearview mirror. Later, the scene shifts showing the driver from the rear, and the rearview mirror has appeared with Calhoun's face clearly visible in it. Removing the rear-view mirror is a filming technique; it is not considered a Goof. See more » |
