Johnnie la rabroue et le soir même commet son premier hold-up avec un truand notoire, Frank Wilson, qu'il admire. Tandis que Fred se débrouille pour procurer un job à Johnny, ce dernier vole son revolver et retrouve Wilson. Le braquage tourne mal. Wilson abat le caissier avec l'arme de Fred et parvient à s'enfuir. Arrêtés pour le premier hold-up et incarcérés à Sing Sing, Wilson et Johnny voient arriver un condamné à mort, Fred, accusé du meurtre du caissier...
