A white racist convict (Tony Curtis) and a black convict (Sidney Poitier) are chained together in the back of a police wagon when it gets into an accident one night. They manage to escape but must work together if they are to survive. They encounter a group of company men who are ready to lynch them and a lonely woman who wants to run away with Curtis. The posse is led by the sensible sheriff (Theodore Bikel) who must keep the reins on a group of men who want to take justice into their own hands (which includes transistor radio-toting Carl Alfalfa Switzer)
