Deported gangland boss Nick Ferraro (Raymond Burr) has hatched a scheme to re-enter the States and take charge of his crime racket. Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) is a professional gambler who is roughed up by Ferraro's hoods and then offered $50,000 to leave America and head to the remote Mexican resort of Morros Lodge. En route, Milner bumps into the beautiful Lenore Brent (Jane Russell), a nightclub singer and mistress of Hollywood star Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price). As Milner settles into the rich playground of Morros Lodge, his every move is watched by Thompson (Charles McGraw), one of Ferraro's henchmen. Realising that he may be in over his head, Milner decides to make his own enquiries as to the identity of his paymaster. But Nick Ferraro is not the type of man to be investigated...
They were two of a kind! ...And bound to meet, but neither of them knew what such a meeting would mean!

Um ótimo filme, uma história clássica de "noir". Mitchum, na pele do cara durão, que tem a sensação de sendo feito de "trouxa".Vicente Price, como sempre muito bom e nada confiável. Já Jane Russell, sempre muito linda, e dominando todas as suas cenas com muito charme, mistério e suas duas obra-primas, que eram seus respeitaveis, peitões.Tem quem não goste.Deve ser por isso que não passa mais em tv aberta.Uma pena.
