Four bandits swoop down on a California bank and flee with $98,000, leaving a truck as the only clue to their identity. Bank secretary Jane Hartman recognizes the truck as one on which her brother Charles worked. Fleeing to her brother, she is trapped by the gang: mastermind Gibbs, gunman Sidney, and blackballed airplane pilot Randall. Under threat of bodily harm to her brother, she lures truck driver Tony Andrews to the hideout and he is forced to help them in their escape attempt.

| Trivia | One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Its initial television presentation took place in Chicago Wednesday 14 January 1959 on WBBM (Channel 2). Not exactly a frequent flyer, nearly a half year later, it was once again taken out of the vault and enjoyed its first airings in Omaha 2 June 1959 on KETV (Channel 7) and in Denver 4 June 1959 on KBTV); another half year later, in Minneapolis 29 November 1959 on WTCN (Channel 11), in Milwaukee 5 December 1959 on WITI (Channel 6), in St. Louis 16 December 1959 on KMOX (Channel 4), in Detroit 10 January 1960 on WJBK (Channel 2), in Toledo 31 January 1960 on WTOL (Channel 11), and, finally, in New York City 20 July 1960 on WCBS (Channel 2).
