Bill, a wrongly imprisoned doctor, escapes jail and finds refuge in an Arizona town, but his freedom is threatened when the gangster who framed him forces Bill to guide his criminal crew across the desert.

Bill Carver is a young medical-school graduate wrongly confined in prison. He escapes and finds a haven and romance in an Arizona small town. But his hopes of happiness and freedom are dashed when gangster Joe Mallon and his four henchmen show up. Mallon was the one who engineered Bill into the frame-up felony that sent him to prison along with Mallon. Bill is forced to lead Mallon and his men into an escape attempt across the blistering, sun-scorched desert.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
