Career criminal Vincent Lubeck is granted parole through his loyal mother's tireless efforts, but he is contemptuous of his honest brother Joey and the job he gets at his gas station. He seduces Joey's fiancee Rosa and is indifferent when she commits suicide because Vincent has made her pregnant. After he uses his relationship with beautiful bank employee Eileen to execute an armored-car robbery with many of his ex-cronies, his long-suffering brother realizes it is time for him to take action.
