One evening, he attempts a robbery on the luxurious mansion of the wealthy Cale Erendreich (Tennant), but when he gets there he finds a woman (Condon) chained up to the wall. Attempts to free her before Cale comes home fail, as do attempts to inform the police, which leave him and his life to be ruined by a vengeful Cale…
