Directed by: Ida Lupino

Synopsis: Fishing buddies Roy Collins (Edmond O’Brien) and Gilbert Bowen (Frank Lovejoy) pick up hitchhiker Emmett Myers (William Talman) who turns out to be an escaped convict who forces them to drive to Mexico.

Purr Blur: Near the end of the film, Myers is holding Collins and Bowen at gunpoint as they look for the boat which is supposed to take Myers out of Baja. Myers stops them for a moment as a cat runs across the pier in front of them.

Final Mewsings: Cats steer clear of crazy escaped cons.
