Wayne Carrol is wasting away in a Fort Yuma hotbox when his young, meddling wife, Kate, cuts a deal with the corrupt warden: Wayne can go free if she'll snitch when he leaves town. The warden's cohort, brutal U.S. Marshal Shig Radiguet, wants Wayne to lead them to a far more interesting quarry--a sixty-thousand-dollar army payroll that he stole and stashed before landing in jail. But when the old bandit slips away in the dead of night, he sets off a greedy chase across the parched southwestern desert.
