Plot
Dan Warren, an investment broker in urgent need of money for a diamond-mining venture, embezzles $100,000 from his client, Kurt Novak. Novak, who is involved in criminal activity himself, discovers the theft and gives Warren five days to repay the money, threatening to arrange his death if he fails. Rather than return the money, Warren devises a plan to recover his losses through another scheme. His efforts draw in Karen Walker and Jerry Manning and place him under increasing pressure from both Novak and the police. As Warren attempts to evade the consequences of the embezzlement, the situation becomes increasingly dangerous and his plans begin to unravel.US
