Inhaltsangabe: Jerry Walsh (Tom Silcox) and a friend of his killed a cop in a shoot-out, making them wanted criminals. Although his partner got away, Jerry wasn't so lucky, having been shot by the officer's gun. At the city hospital doctors removed the bullet and then placed him into a quiet room to rest. When two detectives try to get Jerry to talk, a nurse by the name of Ellen Hatch (Colleen Dewhurst) objects to their torture and forces them to leave him alone. The detectives want to move him, but they can't because of his condition. The detectives finally leave, and the nurse shows a little pity fore the murderer. Over a couple days Jerry tries smooth talking the nurse into letting him go, but she won't break hospital rules. Seeing how she seems strangely kind to him Jerry woos her into helping him to escape. With Ellen's assistance Jerry gets free and makes for the hideout where his co-killer is hiding. But Walsh finds that his place of sanctuary holds a far worse fate than prison!
