Robert Mitchum is a young doctor who treats an attempted suicide one night in the ER. He falls in love with her, but eventually finds out that she is married to a rich older man. He confronts the husband, apparently killing him in a drunken rage. He goes on the lam with the girl and they head for the Mexican border. He starts feeling the effects of a concussion sustained in the fight with the husband which eventually incapacitates him. Their final attempt to cross the border ends in tragedy. Melodramatic, perhaps, but never boring.
