Plot
As Nick Harbin prepares for his release from prison after serving five years for a payroll heist, he refuses to disclose the location of the $260,000 he stole—a crime that left his two accomplices dead. Upon release, Nick is immediately confronted by reporters, police, and his ex-girlfriend Sue, who appears eager to rekindle their relationship.
Sue and Nick drive to his old house, followed closely by the police, where they encounter Dave, another old acquaintance. Sue and Dave's suspicious enthusiasm about the money soon reveals their true motives—they are now a couple, working for Arnie Hoffman, a local gangster, to recover the stolen cash.
Eluding the police, Nick makes his way to the home of Sammy Russo, one of his deceased partners, only to find it abandoned. A vagrant living in the garage directs him to a small town in Arizona, where he discovers Gail, Sammy’s widow and Nick’s former love, working in her family's restaurant. Though initially cold towards Nick, Gail gradually sees the changes in him after his time in prison. Exhausted by the constant pursuit, Nick offers Gail the entire stolen sum, desiring only a peaceful life. Together, they retrieve the money hidden in the frame of Gail’s car and plan to surrender it to the authorities the next morning.
However, Dave, Hoffman, and their enforcer arrive, threatening Gail to coerce Nick into handing over the money. Just as the situation escalates, the police arrive in time to defuse the confrontation. Nick reveals the money’s location to the authorities and then shares a heartfelt embrace with Gail.
