In the film, a petty thief shares a prison cell with a man who stole millions in gold from the Federal Reserve. The robber dies of natural causes, leaving behind a cryptic message concerning the location of his loot. The authorities decide to release his cellmate, to use him as bait against the deceased's dangerous former partner. The partner blackmails the thief to take him to the hidden gold, holding the thief's girlfriend as a hostage.
