The Secret of Convict Lake (1951)
Convict Lake, Californië, winter van 1871. De onterecht veroordeelde Jim Canfield ontsnapt met vijf zware criminelen onder leiding van de gewelddadige Johnny Greer uit een gevangenis in Carson City, Nevada. Onderweg moeten de mannen vanwege een zware sneeuwstorm schuilen in een dorp Convict Lake, waar op dat moment alleen vrouwen aanwezig zijn. Hun partners zijn weg, omdat er een zilverader gevonden is. Van de vrouwen mogen ze blijven tot de storm is gaan liggen. De mannen stemmen daar mee in. Spanningen ontstaan binnen het gezelschap, wanneer één van hen vertelt, dat hij een gestolen som geld ter waarde van $ 40.000 in het gebied verborgen heeft. Jim is ondertussen verliefd geworden op de aantrekkelijke brunette Marcia Stoddard, maar hij moet vaststellen, dat het haar verloofde Rudy Schaeffer is geweest, die hem in het verleden onterecht heeft beschuldigd.
