Unyielding capitalism claims several more scalps after bank employee Victor (Leonard Sachs) is caught embezzling £70 to placate his would-be high maintenance wife (Joan Miller). Although by the admission of his own boss he had replaced the money almost immediately, his livelihood is wrecked by his summary dismissal and in desperation he falls in with a gang of crooks to whom he supplies inside knowledge they use to rob a mail van carrying money to the bank that formerly employed him.
By the end of the film three people have died violently, two women have been widowed and the dreams of Art (Eddie Byrne) and Ted (Victor Maddern) to escape the city and own a farm are dashed forever.
