HIGH SIERRABig Mac buys Roy Earle's pardon because he needs a gunman on a heist job in California. There are three of them in on it besides Roy: Red, Babe and Louis, the inside man. But Roy didn't figure on Marie, Babe's girl. At first Roy wants Marie out of there, but he soon realizes that she's got more brains than the other three put together. Besides, she makes good company. But Roy's heart already belongs to Velma, a club-footed girl he meets on the road. She reminds him of his youth, and better days... before life hardened his heart. But Velma's heart belongs to another. And Roy's got a job to do. And now Babe's out of the picture, and it's just Roy and Marie...THE ASPHALT JUNGLEWhen Riemenschneider is released from prison, he heads right to Cobby the bookie.
