A savings-and-loan bank is robbed; later, a police wiretap identifies teller Leon Poole as inside man. In capturing him, detective Sam Wagner accidentally kills Poole's young wife, and at his trial Poole swears vengeance against Wagner. About three years later, Poole (until then a model prisoner) abruptly takes his chance to kill a guard and escape. It's clear during the ensuing manhunt that Poole is obsessed in pursuit of a single end; but not quite the end everyone supposes. 　　译文(2): 一家储蓄贷款银行遭到抢劫; 后来，警方窃听证实出纳员利昂 · 普尔是内鬼。在逮捕他的过程中，侦探 Sam Wagner 意外地杀死了 Poole 年轻的妻子，在他的审判中 Poole 发誓要向 Wagner 复仇。大约三年后，普尔(直到那时还是一个模范囚犯)突然抓住机会杀死一名警卫并逃跑。很明显，在随后的追捕中，普尔执着于追求一个单一的目标，但并不完全是每个人都认为的目标。
