Synopsis
Released on parole through his mother's efforts, a habitual criminal takes a job at his brother's service station. He treats the opportunity as a source of new victims rather than a fresh start. An armoured-car route across the street draws his attention, while his manipulation of the women around him undermines the family's fragile hopes.

Historical context
Lawrence Tierney's hard-edged criminal role fits the screen reputation he established in earlier crime films. His brother Edward Tierney plays the more respectable sibling within the story. The family setting gives the planned robbery a personal cost beyond the usual contest between criminals and police.
