My summary quote pretty much says it all about Angie (Doris Dowling), the gold digging girlfriend of barely-making-ends-meet Larry Chetnik (Robert Loggia). Although quite honestly, a hundred fifty bucks a week wasn't a bad week's pay back in 1960. That's what Larry was earning when he decided to chuck it all for half that amount by going to work for a gangster importer. His scheme involved robbing his boss Bregornick (Will Kuluva) at some point, he just needed the right plan to make it happen. Impersonating a business acquaintance of Gregornick, Larry puts himself in position to deliver thirty thousand dollars in cash to Miklos (Wolfe Barzell), but in what looks like a rare move of humiliation and piety, Larry arrives with hat in hand and puts himself at the mercy of his employer. I thought Larry's exercise in patience for a bigger score was a well considered Plan B on his part, but with a gal like Angie, you had to wonder when her own tolerance would give out.
