A commercial artist is hunted by the police for a murder he didn't commit and by criminals for stolen money he doesn't have. Directed by Jacques Tourneur with camera work by cinematographer Burnett Guffey. The film uses flashbacks as a device to tell the story, which was based on a 1947 novel by David Goodis.

Elements of the movie could be an unconscious inspiration for the Cohen Brothers' FARGO.
