The Big Shot

Repeat offender Duke Berne (Humphrey Bogart) reluctantly agrees to go along with the robbery scheme of unscrupulous lawyer Martin Fleming (Stanley Ridges) when he realizes that Fleming's wife is his ex-flame Lorna (Irene Manning). Lorna talks Duke out of taking part, but, after the robbery goes bad, a corrupt witness fingers Duke as one of the gunmen. Fleming provides the innocent George Anderson (Richard Travis) to create an alibi for Duke, but soon the double-crossing begins.
