Walter Beaumont lives in Oakland, California, with his wife, Bess. For the last sixteen years, they have struggled to get by but hope that one day their circumstances will improve. Walter gets tired of being short on money.
One day, cousin Eugene arrives and talks Walter into taking a trip to Reno. Bess thinks they are going fishing in Lake Tahoe, but Eugene has bigger plans that involve robbing a train.
