Vincent Canelli (Edward G. Robinson) and his comrade in crime, Peter Manning (Peter Graves), bust out of prison on the day Canelli is supposed to be executed for murder. The convicts take prisoners with them, including a priest (Milburn Stone), and hide out in an abandoned warehouse. The plan is for Canelli to grab the loot that got them in the slammer to begin with. But their plan is complicated when the police surround them, and Canelli threatens to start killing hostages one by one.
