Desperate
Desperate
Walt Radak, truand notoire, essaye d'utiliser un camionneur indépendant, Steve Randall, pour transporter des fourrures volées. Mais Steve, ne voulant pas être mêlé à un vol, alerte un policier en patrouille en lui faisant des appels de phares. Al, le frère de Walt, tire sur le policier et le tue. Steve, en s'enfuyant, provoque la chute du jeune homme, ce qui permet à la police de l'appréhender. Rapidement rattrapé par Radak, Steve est tabassé avant que le gangster n'ait une idée : il veut que Steve avoue le meurtre pour sauver Al. Pour faire pression sur Randall, il n'hésite pas à menacer de s'en prendre à sa future épouse, Anne, et Steve se voit contraint d'accepter. Mais il parvient à semer les hommes de Radak et fuit avec Anne, allant de refuge en refuge. Radak, mais aussi la police, se lance à leur poursuite, obsédé par l'idée de sauver son frère, condamné à mort.
