In this crime drama, a young hood and a seductress team up and rob a
gas station. As she requires an opulent, exciting existence, more
robberies ensue until they get really greedy and attempt a kidnapping.
Unfortunately, they chose an unusually perceptive victim who is able to
recall the flight paths of the airplanes that flew over the hideout and the
crooks are soon captured. The story is based on a nonfiction book from
FBI leader J. Edgar Hoover and does not glorify the criminal's actions.
The film also includes interesting glimpses into FBI procedures for
solving such cases.
