Crime Wave (1954) follows the intense story of three escaped convicts from San Quentin—Penny, Hastings, and Morgan—who fatally shoot a police officer during a gas station robbery. Severely injured, Morgan seeks refuge in the home of his former cellmate, Steve Lacey, who has been recently paroled and is now living a peaceful life with his wife. Steve is reluctant to associate with his old criminal associates, fearing the consequences. However, homicide detective Sims pressures Steve to assist in capturing Penny and Hastings, who in turn blackmail Steve into helping them execute a bank heist. The narrative delves into Steve's desperate struggle to find a way out of this perilous situation.
