Sultry Las Vegas hostess Eva Ashley (Linda Christian) and her ruthless lover (Henry Silva) make a living shaking down smitten saps but when she kills one, Eva gets black-listed in the gambling mecca and her casino-employed boyfriend is exiled to Mexico. With nowhere to go, Eva marries Oscar Blinney (Larry Sorch), a meek L.A. bank clerk who'd fallen hard for her while on vacation; when she finds out the chump handles payrolls, Eva lures her old flame back to the States and together they blackmail Oscar into robbing his bank -but a tricky triple cross provides an out in more ways than one...
International playgirl Linda Christian, ex-wife of actors Tyrone Power and Edmund Purdom, exudes experienced sex appeal as the avaricious Eva and an intense Henry Silva does his best Jack Palance impersonation but Larry Storch still manages to make an impression as the mouse that roared when pushed too far in this twisty screenplay by pulp icon David Goodis, based on a novel by the underrated Henry Kane. Co-starring Myron Healy, John "Deathdream" Marley, and Alan "Batman" Napier.
