Come Easy–Go Easy

Chet Carson works for the Lawrence Safe Corporation. One night temptation gets the better of him, and he and his partner decide to rob one of their clients. Some months later, Carson is languishing at Farnworth Prison. But Carson has a plan and soon escalates from convict to escaped con, on the run from the sadistic guards. That’s when he comes across Carl Jensen at Point of No Return, a filling station on the edge of the desert highway. Jensen takes a chance on Carson and gives him a job–and a new lease on life. The Swede has a good feeling about Carson. Unfortunately, the Swede’s greedy wife Lola doesn’t share his sentiment, and sets up Carson to crack one more safe or she’ll turn him in. Jensen has a small fortune stashed away. And it’s just one more safe–only this one could be Carson’s last.
