Synopsis

Rod Steiger plays the unscrupulous financier, Carl Schaffner, who has absconded to Mexico with the company funds. A genius at improvisation, Schaffner manages to evade the authorities by murdering Paul Scarff and assuming the dead man's identity. However, Schaffner soon learns that Scarff was himself a fugitive from justice. In one of the most poignant performances by Steiger, ironically it is his love of Scarff's dog, Dolores, which leads him to his bitter end. Also starring David Knight and Marla Landi.
