Although married to Verna (Virginia Mayo), Cody is overly attached to his equally crooked and determined mother, "Ma" Jarrett (Margaret Wycherly), his only real confidante (Cody's father died in an insane asylum). Cody suffers from debilitating headaches, and Ma consoles him--even sitting him on her lap and giving him a shot of whiskey with the toast, "Top of the world," an expression she uses more than once.

They learn that a bridge has been blown up by three saboteurs, and that the Germans have taken 100 hostages who will be killed unless the saboteurs are apprehended by the Vichy police. To buy time in order to escape again, Picard persuades Bonet to let him pose as one of the saboteurs to save the hostages. In the course of enacting a story that will convince the Vichy that Picard is one of the escaped saboteurs, he and Bonet encounter the real saboteur, captured by the Vichy, and aid him in escaping.

In the aftermath of the massacre, Jeb is found by Mrs. Callum, a widow, who will raise him in her family.

Mrs. Callum raises him as her own son, together with her daughter Thorley and her son Adam. Years later, Jeb is shot at while riding a colt, but the shooter misses him; although Mrs. Callum blames the incident on deer hunters, she knows that it was an attempted murder by her brother-in-law Grant, who, for vague reasons, is determined to kill Jeb.

In 1942, Nazi Germany attempts to bring neutral Turkey into the war on its side by staging an assassination attempt on Franz von Papen, its own ambassador to the country. Much to the annoyance of Colonel Robinson (Sydney Greenstreet), von Papen survives and the Russians that his agent provocateur was trying to frame have solid alibis, forcing him to turn to another scheme to inflame Turkey's traditional rivalry with Russia.

Quelques années après la guerre de Sécession, en Arizona, Jennifer Ballard voyage de la Géorgie à la Californie à bord d'une diligence dans le but de retrouver son fiancé Ben Warren. Parmi les voyageurs, se trouvent un certain Hamilton, en fait le célèbre hors-la-loi Frank Slayton, un ex-Confédéré, et son complice Jess Burgess. La voiture est escortée par des soldats car elle transporte aussi la solde. Ils s'arrêtent pour la nuit dans une petite ville, l'escorte se rendant au fort voisin pour être remplacée. Ben, impatient de retrouver sa fiancée, est déjà là. Slayton, attiré par Jennifer, est ennuyé par l'arrivée de Ben, mais les invite néanmoins à dîner. Lorsque la conversation vient à porter sur la guerre, Ben, lui aussi un ancien Confédéré, déclare préférer désormais les compromis et la paix. Le lendemain matin, la diligence repart, mais les soldats qui l'escortent sont en fait des hommes de Slayton. En plein milieu du désert, ils arrêtent la voiture et tuent le conducteur. Slayton dévoile alors sa véritable identité et, lorsque Ben tente de s'interposer, lui tire dessus, le laissant pour mort. Les hors-la-loi partent alors avec l'argent et emmènent Jennifer avec eux. Plus tard, après que Jess a mis en doute la nécessité d'emmener Jennifer, Slayton le fait ligoter et le laisse en plein soleil avant de partir. Pendant ce temps, Ben a repris ses esprits et, après avoir retrouvé un des chevaux de l'attelage, suit la piste des bandits jusqu'à leur cachette, où il trouve Jess, inconscient. Il le ranime et apprend que le gang est en route pour leur cachette au Mexique. Ils partent à leur poursuite, bientôt rejoints par Johash, un Indien dont la sœur est morte à cause de Slayton.
