Plot Summary

A tough guy with a habit of calling other men sweetheart, accidentally shoots a man who tries to prevent him fleeing a robbery, then forces his two accomplices to go on the run with him. While all over the news reports, they hide out as labourers on a smallholding, and in true film style one instantly falls for the owner's daughter. But ringleader Eddie doesn't care for anything, and has become trigger-happy to the point of delirium.
