Charlie Draper kommt aus dem Knast und will die Beute seines Coups einsammeln. Das wollen der Gangster Gadder und seine Gorillas ebenfalls. Zwei junge Frauen, Sally und Tracy, geraten zwischen die Fronten.
Keine nennenswerte Kulisse, belanglose Story, Zerfasern statt Vorstellung interessanter Figuren. Diese Aneinanderreihung von Jagd- und Fluchtszenen kann nicht funktionieren. Anstatt den üblichen Qualitäten sehen wir David Daker, wie er sich mit Stephen Yardley prügelt, eine nervende Gabrielle Drake und eine verschenkte Susan Hampshire. Die Einführung von crime-in-the-streets (nichts gegen Suttons Darstellung) wirkt deplaziert.
