When he gets out, he pulls off the heist and hides the loot when he has trouble with his fence–but is caught due to a jealous ex-girlfriend. Back in prison, his ex-partners, wanting the money themselves, plan a prison break so that Johnny will lead them to the money. The plan works.

Greatly overlooked and underratedBobo 11/20/2007 
  Given the campy 1950 sci-fi genre, this movie has reasonably decent production values. I found it to be a fairly engaging attempt to resolve a love triangle by cloning of the woman of interest in a somewhat Frankenstein-ian laboratory setting. IMHO, worth far more than the modest 1-star rating posted above.
