1956. A savings-and-loan
bank is robbed; later, a police wiretap identifies teller Leon Poole
as inside man. In capturing him, detective Sam Wagner accidentally kills
Poole's young wife, and at his trial Poole swears vengeance against
Wagner. About three years later, Poole (until then a model prisoner)
abruptly takes his chance to kill a guard and escape. It's clear during
the ensuing manhunt that Poole is obsessed in pursuit of a single end;
but not quite the end everyone supposes.
