Before the two men can abscond to another country, Lomart gets word that his wife Pat Lomart (Jill St. John) has been having an affair with another man and has become pregnant with his child. The two men had made plans to lie low after their escape from jail, but Lomart decides to find and kill his wife and the man she has been seeing. Edward Woodward plays a police inspector, Milton, the man assigned to catch the two escaped convicts.
