Al Roberts (Neal) is a piano player at a rather seedy nightclub in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. When his girlfriend Sue lights out to Hollywood to try and make it in the movies, Al follows her. He's hitchhiking through UsefulNotes/{{Arizona}} when he's picked up by a man by the name of Charles Haskell. Things go downhill from there, however, as a freak accident along the road during the night results in the death of Haskell. Worried he'll be arrested for the man's death, Al hides the body along the side of the road, taking possession of Haskell's car and assuming his identity to avoid any potential trouble, at least until he makes it to Hollywood.

* AccidentNotMurder: Bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives the tired and disheveled Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck; he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock. Al then realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Vera is somewhere around this trope only because she's too young and good-looking to qualify as a LadyDrunk; she spends most of the time in their shabby little room drinking heavily.
