However everything is ruined when he is framed for embezzlement and sent to prison. Five years later the real thief makes a death bed confession and Bob is freed. However Bob isn't grateful to be freed he is bitter and wants revenge on Ralph.
With the help of his ex-jail buddy Todd (Eddie Acuff) he plots to Ralph's safe emptied of bonds and put in the same predicament as Bob all those years ago.
A fast paced film with a noir edge. The ending is rather muddled though with a last minute reprieve (of course) but the film is solid enough.
