After a failed suicide attempt, a pitiful soul drinks heavily at a local bar, but when his bartender pal gets a shot at pro basketball, hope glimmers.

When a cop is framed for murder and chained to a felon, the duo make a break for it, trying to stay a step ahead of the law and the real killer.

Robert Mitchum takes a walk on the wild side in his TV acting debut, a suspenseful tale of blackmail and murder costarring Angie Dickinson and Mel Ferrer. Harold Schillman (Mitchum) used to be the best on the force. Now he's a washed up ex-cop, too down on his luck to care. So when he's hired to find the missing wife of a Tahoe casino owner (Ferrer), no one's more surprised than Schillman. Tracking her down to a San Francisco high-rise, he gets there in time to watch her fall to her death. Unsure whether she jumped or was pushed, Schillman hooks up with a woman from the victim's past (Dickinson) to help unravel a web of lies and expose the unsavory truth.
