A bank robber escapes from prison and seeks out the cop who sent him up. Boetticher made this just before making his mark with a series of fine Westerns starring Randolph Scott. He really found his calling in Westerns, making only one non-Western after this one. He does OK in this short crime drama, but can't overcome the mediocre script. Cotten is earnest as the cop. Corey is effective as the disturbed, cold-blooded killer who targets Fleming, Cotten's wife, because the latter accidentally killed Corey's wife. Also playing cops are Hale (Skipper of "Gilligan's Island") and Beradino (long-time star of soap "General Hospital").
