Meeting aboard a train bound for San Francisco, Helen Brent (Claire Trevor) and Sam Wilde (Lawrence Tierney) strike up a conversation. Unaware of an existing connection between them -- Helen found a pair of corpses, courtesy of Sam's murderous hands -- they embark on a depraved affair that leads straight to hell. (official distributor synopsis)
