Desmond stars as convict Mike Gilbert, who, after his wife announces divorce, flees prison with inmates Gruber and Graham. Gruber wants the loot his father, Curly, hid; the trio hijacks a plane and double‑crosses Graham, who assembles a gang to reclaim the treasure. Gilbert falls for Robbie, his ex‑wife’s sister, and, swayed by her, chooses a straight path while his partners stay unrepentant.
