A deadly love triangle sucks in Kimble as fall guy for a murder. An ambitious lounge singer romances the fugitive hoping to force the hand of her married lover into divorcing his rich, disabled wife Norma for the duplicitous songbird. When that scheme fails, the young mistress convinces the reluctant husband to use convicted killer Richard Kimble to permanently, and in a quite deadly way, remove Norma from standing, figuratively speaking, between the illicit couple and the wife's millions.
