Aging bank robber Roy “Mad Dog” Earle is pardoned after 8 years in prison. Once out of prison, at the request of his crime boss “Big Mac”, Roy agrees to pull one more heist before retiring. His target is a fancy mountain resort hotel where employee Louis Mendoza is Roy’s “inside man”. Roy Earle’s team of robbers include hotheaded Babe, Red, and dance-hall girl Marie who falls for Roy, but he only thinks of innocent young Velma, whom he recently met. Velma has a slight foot handicap and smitten Roy plans to pay for her surgery with his share of the loot. Unfortunately, the robbery doesn’t go as planned. |
