Danny (Lowell Brown) is a rich kid who has gone on the run, he gets turned over by some thugs in a rail yard but is saved from destitution by experienced drifter Bix (Brett Halsey). Bix takes Danny under his wing (the fact Danny has all the money is incidental of course!) They end up in a small town and Bix soon has to teach Danny some street smarts and how to deal with dangerous thugs and even more dangerous gals!
However, Bix falls in love with Carrie (Joyce Meadows) and starts to wonder if he should settle down and stop drifting. But the weird Jesse (Jack Elam) throws a tragic spanner in the works...
An enjoyable film, though the sleazy and brutal world of Bix and his drifting lifestyle could have done with a little bit more budget and at times the pace of the film could have done with a bit more juice.
