to:
Alan Squier (Howard) is a failed author who has become a tramp and at the start of the film is hitchhiking across America. He wanders into a lonely gas station and diner in the Arizona desert, where he meets the waitress and owner's daughter, Gabrielle Maple (Davis). Gabrielle is thoroughly sick of the desert and the life of a waitress and longs to escape to France, and she is charmed by debonair, sophisticated Alan. In fact, Gabrielle is so charmed by Alan that she wants to go away with Alan, but he leaves on his own. Fate then intervenes when notorious gangster Duke Mantee (Bogart) and his gang, who recently escaped from a nearby prison, come to the gas station seeking a place to hide out.
