  While driving on a secluded highway, the Palmers–Jane (Lizabeth Scott) and Alan (Arthur Kennedy)–are so intent on their argument that their convertible veers off the road. Alan turns on the blinkers, another car passes them, the driver thinks the lights are a signal, and he tosses a bag containing $60,000 into the Palmers' car. Jane's insistence on keeping the cash leads to a tangled web of deceit and murder.
