Despite boasting about his plan, he's forced to share the $500,000 haul with four other hoodlums. However, their troubles begin when they discover most of the bills are marked, making it hard to spend the loot. As tensions rise, the group turns on each other, resulting in several deaths. In the end, Norris kills the remaining robber and seeks out his former girlfriend, Ronnie LaVerne, a nightclub singer who was framed by Norris and served a short prison term.
