Ed Novak (Perry Lopez) is a cocky hothead and bookie who, after being arrested, is told if he tells all he knows about the operations of Steve Marlin (Ted de Corsia) he''ll get a greatly reduced sentence. Loyal to the undeserving Marlin, he refuses, much to the heartbreak of his wife, Frances (Beverly Garland), who doesn't care about the fur coats he gives her and hopes he'll get an honest job after serving his time. Marlin is also in jail and Ed tries to ingratiate himself with the mob boss, who comes to like him. Ed witnesses the murder of a guard which Marlin was responsible for and still refuses to talk, leading to serious complications and an unexpected kidnapping ... Marlin intends to see that Novak keeps his mouth shut permanently.
