This'll Kill You

Richard Kimble arbeitet für den Wäschereibesitzer Charlie. Die beiden verstehen sich sehr gut, doch Charlies Nebentätigkeit als Buchmacher bringt Kimble in allzu nahen Kontakt mit der Polizei. Außerdem hat auch das New Yorker Syndikat mit Charlie noch eine Rechnung offen. (Text: Premiere)

Kimble finds work at a Laundromat owned by Charlie Paris, a former stand-up comic and mob bookie who hopes to go straight. But Kimble doesn't know that that the underworld has put a hit contract on Charlie for testifying against some of their business ""associates."" Charlie hopes to make amends meet to his longtime girlfriend Paula, but she's more interested in Kimble. When a mob flunky offers Paula $8,000 for turning Charlie over to them, she does not pass up the chance and takes the money, while Charlie refuses to believe Kimble's suspicions that Paula plans to betray him.
