When An Ex-Con Is Framed For Murder He’S Forced To Return To His Life Of Crime To Find The Real Killer.
Mike Fitzgerald is an ex-jewel thief trying to go straight, but since his release from prison someone has been committing robberies and making it look like he did them. To add to his misery, two San Diego Sherriff detectives are determined to send Mike back to prison and are willing to break the law to do it.
Yet, Mike finally gets a break when a wealthy couple hire him to draw a mural at their mansion. He believes he has finally found vindication as an artist, but his dreams of success soon dissolve when the wife is murdered in a botched robbery of jewels worth ten million dollars and Mike is the primary suspect. This leaves Mike with only two choices, find the real killer, or spend the rest of his life on the run.
In the Mexican border towns of Tijuana and Rosarito Beach, Mike recruits the help of a crooked Rosarito Beach cop to return with him to the United States to find the killer. As they search, Mike discovers that he has been a puppet on a string ever since his release from prison, and the puppet master is about to cut the strings.
