A weak remake of HEAT LIGHTNING (1931) about a criminal, Kennedy, who kills a bank teller in a holdup and goes on the lam with his innocent wife, Marshall, who believes him to be a traveling businessman. He is tracked down and goes to jail, while Marshall returns to her drab existence of
running a roadside hotel and gas station with her sister, Bradna. Kennedy makes a jail break three years later and Marshall is forced to give him protection. The tale ends with Kennedy finally getting his just desserts from policeman Summerville.
