Released from prison, Roy Earle sets off for the High Sierra mountains where an old gangland associate has set up headquarters to plan a hold-up. But the job seems doomed to failure from the start when Earle discovers that his inexperienced henchmen have brought along a woman. Bogart's brilliant performance as the ageing gangster ' just rushing toward death' brought him fame and stardom.
