When we meet the anti-hero, grifter Mitch Allison, he is disheveled and walking by the side of the road. He tells in a flash back narrative how he stole $25,000 from his con-artist wife Bette and jumped on a train hoping to double the money in a gambling scam. Later, he meets sultry Babe and gets involved in more than he bargained for. The twists and turns never stop in this fast paced fatalistic and humorous tale.
