Two convicts, Cliff Destrum and Arthur Braden, later plan an escape from prison by splitting a stolen ten-dollar bill they find, with each man agreeing to retrieve the remaining half and locate hidden jewels after their release. When Destrum escapes first and later encounters Braden outside prison, Braden betrays him by staging a truck accident that leaves Destrum apparently dead, only for Braden to discover the jewels must still be hidden somewhere in the neck of the woods, leaving the stolen treasure lost.
A marked criminal can slip through police fingers again and again—until his own underworld rivals turn against him. When twin gangsters take over Center City's rackets, the displaced hood Dice Jenkins plots revenge, but his scheme collides with ambitions that spiral into betrayal and bloodshed. In this 1952 crime tale, greed and vengeance among thieves become the perfect setup for justice to finally close in.
Jake "The Bull" Van Zant lives up to his nickname during a 1942 bank robbery in California, using brutal force and leaving a body behind—then turning his gun on his own partners to keep the full $30,000 haul for himself. On the run and hoping to reconnect with an old flame named Sally at a Mesa City nightclub, Jake's violent nature and hair-trigger temper continue to work against him as the law closes in. This gritty crime tale follows a man whose viciousness inevitably catches up with him.
