Plot

Duke and Freddie are two friends who steal car parts and pawn them for support. Duke's girlfriend Peg attempts to dissuade him from this lifestyle. Angered, he taunts her with another girl, Janice, who has driven up alongside him. They line up for a drag race. A motorcycle policeman who chases them is killed as he crashes into Janice's car. Janice gets arrested. Duke, who has driven off, paints his black car light blue to escape detection. Janice learns his license number, and, in fear of being discovered, Duke kills her. Duke coerces Peg to leave town with him. They go on the run as thieves. Realizing his luck will not hold out but unwilling to surrender, Duke sends Peg back. Duke remains alone in an abandoned roadside market, awaiting his fate.
