Racketeer Lucky Wilson finds refuge with a quiet Connecticut farm family while hiding out from the police. During his stay he finds love with the farmer's daughter and a new outlook on life. An entertaining and fast-paced yarn with Montgomery turning in a first class performance. This is the first time Montgomery got to play a tough character on screen and his adeptness at this is clearly displayed.
