In their bid to smash a counterfeiting ring, the Treasury men decided to parole convicted paperhanger Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges) on the condition that he’d help them smoke out the racketeers. The conniving Stewart decided to play both ends against the middle, and attempted to beat it to Mexico with a cigarette girl (Barbara Payton) in one hand and the plates in the other. Richard Fleischer’s moody, documentary-styled crime drama co-stars John Hoyt, Russ Conway, Robert Karnes. 78 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; featurettes. Two-disc set.
