Gangster and cop killer Jack Martin is on the run from the law, and hides out in a small town. Low on funds, he engineers a clever bank robbery that yields him a big bundle. Now he has not only the cops and the FBI after him, but also the local crime boss, who's outraged that an outsider can pull off a heist like that in his territory and not cut him in on it.

This is fun movie to watch if you enjoy old, low-budget B movies. I enjoyed the California scenery and cars from the 1950s probably more than the movie.
The plot and acting is pretty corny but it's still an enjoyable movie, even if it's only for a few laughs.
I even like the stale kind of dialog you get from the cops ... "attention all cars" kind of thing.
It reminds me of something that might have played at one of those old drive-in double features.
The film probably would have been a total dud, but having Walter Matthau helped make it watchable.
