Panicked and on the run, Jim hitches a ride with an aloof, sophisticated fashion photographer, Mrs. H.G. Cummings (Joan Bennett), and her beautiful young model, Susan Willis (Wanda Hendrix). As they navigate the sun-scorched highways of the California desert, a massive police dragnet begins to close in.
