Actor Charles Laughton's directorial debut, a cult film noir that celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, was not met with much critical or audience acclaim in its day, and so Laughton sadly never got around to directing again.

When Powell is put in jail for stealing a car, he discovers from fellow inmate Harper, on death row, that he has hidden $10,000 from the robbery at home. Powell leaves prison on a treasure hunt. The secret of the hidden money is guarded by Harper's two innocent children, and the Hunter is on his way
