The story of Vincent Parry (Humphrey Bogart) who escapes from prison and tries to prove he didn't kill his wife. Help comes in the shape of rich girl, Irene Jansen (Lauren Bacall) whose late father was also wrongly accused of murder . Bogey - falsely accused, keeps trying to escape. He can get out of prison, but seems to be running in quicksand the whole time. Every step forward leaders him deeper into the morass. The film grim view of humanity is compelling even if the too fast moving coincidences at the end feels forced.
