****SPOILERS**** Just released from prison after serving a six year sentence for knocking off a gas station ex-convict Earnie Walters, Rip Torn, goes straight to the nearest state tax office and, using a gun, robs the place of $12,000.00! That's armed robbery which can land Walters behind bars if caught for 10 to 15 years! At first you think that this guy Walters planned the robbery well in advance but incredibly he leaves his hotel key at the office that in turn leads the cops straight to his door!
You start to wonder if the six years behind bars somehow damaged Walter's brain and sense of reason but soon you realize that what he's doing isn't stupid at all. It's a well planned strategy to right the wrongs done to him by the local D.A, Kenneth Patterson, and detective Cooper, Burt Freed, who put him behind bars six years ago! Walters in fact did everything that he could to get himself arrested but that's not all. He did everything he could possible do to make sure that the evidence, if there is any, of his robbing the state tax office won't be able to stand up in a court of law!
***SPOILER*** Brooding over the injustice done to him six years ago a vengeful and filled with righteous indignation Earnie Walters had planned this robbery for years and pulled it off with absolute perfection. He not only got compensated, the $12,000.00 he stole, in the pain and suffering that he was put through by a faulty justice system but made complete fools of those, D.A Patterson & detective Cooper, who put him through it!
