There Was a Crooked Man...

Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Of All the Crooked Men in All the Crooked West One of Them Was the Best!

Arizona Territorial Prison inmate Paris Pitman, Jr. is a schemer, a charmer, and quite popular among his fellow convicts — especially with $500,000 in stolen loot hidden away and a plan to escape and recover it. New warden Woodward Lopeman has other ideas about Pitman. Each man will have the tables turned on him.
