Plot

Johnny Warder gets out of prison and returns to North Carolina to marry sweetheart Carol, with whom he has a 5-year-old son. Johnny and Carol decide to rob a local bootlegger's safe during a town picnic. Their accomplice is Roger, a former Army buddy of Johnny's with knowledge of explosives.

They blow the safe to get at the $250,000 inside, but the job goes awry. And during their escape, Johnny and Roger kill a law-enforcement official.

At a diner, a sheriff, Carol's brother Charlie, spots the fugitives. In deference to his sister, Charlie agrees to give them a 10-minute head start before he contacts his fellow lawmen. But when emerging from a restroom, Roger doesn't realize who Charlie is and shoots him dead.

The police eventually surround the gang at a sawmill. During a shootout, Roger is killed. Johnny and Carol drive off in hail of bullets, and Carol is also killed. Johnny drives her body back to her mother and son.

Cast
gollark: The greater problem is that it's unmaintained and anyone who might actually know the code well enough to work on it is now working on v2 and under NDAs for some bizarre reason.
gollark: Er, basically, there's some configuration set which probably isn't right for all environments, but that's not a complex fix either.
gollark: Oh, and it has some hardcoded paths.
gollark: Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to run; the only finicky part is that it needs a MySQL database and has a lot of random services, but the docker compose stuff handles that anyway.
gollark: The documentation for this is actually pretty good, and it's all dockerized.
