Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This generically-titled crime caper stars Mamie Van Doren as Vegas nightclub singer Vi Victor and Lee Van Cleef as her gangster husband Mike Bennett. While Mike is stuck in prison, Vi has an affair with his former cellmate Chuck Wheeler (Gerald Mohr), who masterminds a $2 million armored car heist. Mike busts out of jail and claims the ill-gotten gains for himself. He also reclaims Vi, whose fidelity can be easily bought. Practically every member of the cast is dead by the final fade-out; it wouldn't be sporting to reveal here who survives.
