A grim Hollywood drama starring Vorno as a young man who hits the skids after his wife leaves him. Soon after, Vorno's junkyard business folds up and he is forced to join some crooks in a waterfront holdup. Vorno meets and falls in love with McClanahan, a young woman willing to bed
producers to get her big break in Hollywood. After a disagreement with his criminal cohorts, Vorno is stabbed and dies in McClanahan's arms. A depressing character study done with little finesse. Limited release.
