The Humbolt River is bursting its banks and flooding the American town of Lebannon. Three men cling to the wreckage of a dyke and one, Donovan (Howard Keel), rescues Elizabeth (Anne Heywood), a young girl trapped near her home. The other two men are then in danger so Donovan rescues them too, and they clamber into a boat. Elizabeth learns that Donovan is a convict serving a life-sentence for murder, but as she gets closer and closer to him she realises that all is not as it seems. A tense thriller.
