But "Switch". an expert with a switchblade knife is a constant menace to the romance. When their beat-up jalopy breaks down they hitchhike a ride with Revis (John Goddard), a killer and dope peddler wanted by the U.S. Border Patrol and the Mexican Rurales. With Revis is his dope-crazed moll, Madge (Carol Ohmart). In an ensuing conflict between Revie and "Switch" for a huge doll stuffed with dope (other than Madge),the border police are closing in.
