Try And Get Me!

Down-and-out family man Howard Tyler (Frank Lovejoy), in need of a break, falls under the charm of Jerry Slocum (Lloyd Bridges), a small-time criminal. Tyler and Slocum begin their partnership by pulling robberies at local gas stations, but Slocum wants to take the stakes higher by kidnapping a wealthy man for a hefty ransom. When the plan is botched and turns into murder, the two are caught and face the wrath of a bloodthirsty mob, stirred into action by a sensationalist reporter.
