Earl Macklin (

Robert Ryan,

The Killing) want Earl eliminated for the heist. Earl refuses to go into hiding with his girlfriend Bett (
Karen Black,
Easy Rider) and instead hooks up with his old friend Cody (
Joe Don Baker,
Walking Tall) to raid The Outfit’s various rackets. But the longer Earl and Cody strike back, the closer the criminal organization comes to closing in. The movie features a cast from the golden age of noir including
Marie Windsor (
