Although Sing Sing inmates and friends Cliff Taylor (
George Raft) and Chuck Martin (
Humphrey Bogart) are paroled on the same day, they head in opposite directions upon leaving prison. Chuck returns to his life of crime, while Cliff is determined to go straight, but encounters difficulties trying to reintegrate into society. His girlfriend breaks off their relationship, he has difficulty keeping a job, and his younger brother Tim (
William Holden) seems to be headed in the wrong direction. Cliff returns to a life of crime with Chuck just long enough to get enough to buy Tim a garage, which will provide him with an honest living. Unfortunately, Chuck's gang uses the garage to hide out from the police after a botched armored car robbery, and Tim becomes involved.
