SYNOPSIS

Johnny Clay has a plan. After spending 5 years in Alcatraz, he decides that if he’s going to commit crimes, the risk had better be worth the punishment. He then proceeds to mastermind a brilliant criminal scheme to steal $2,000,000 from a local racetrack in which “no one will get hurt.” The only flaw in his plan is that he does not consider one of his co-horts’ greedy, shrewish wife and her ruthless boyfriend. That’s when something goes wrong.
