A taut 1950s noir revenge thriller built on escalating paranoia and moral ambiguity, where an innocent man's vendetta against a detective who killed his wife drives relentless tension.

A savings-and-loan bank is robbed; later, a police wiretap identifies meek bank teller Leon Poole as the inside man. In capturing him, detective Sam Wagner accidentally kills Poole's young wife, and at his trial Poole swears vengeance against Wagner. Poole begins his plans to get revenge when he escapes his captors.
