Jeff can then sneak into his apartment and steal those documents. Jeff immediately understood that this was a trap, but he went to Leonard’s apartment as planned. He carefully hinted that Leonard was about to murder him, but when he sneaked into the apartment for the second time, Leonard was still dead. Jeff hid the body in the closet and sneaked into the hotel where Cathy was staying. Cathy called and learned that Leonard was not dead in the apartment. In a hurry, he had to tell the truth to Jeff and his wife. White's plan was to let Jay The husband is the scapegoat for the murder. Facing the two-sided but extremely sexy old lover, Jeff somehow embraced her again. According to the information she provided, Jeff stole the document from another place and immediately mailed it out. Then the gangsters came naturally and made him disappear into the night with a swagger.
Jeff quietly returned to the small mountain village. At this time, he was wanted by the police as a murder suspect. Anna's parents took the opportunity to obstruct their love. The young man Paul, who had been in love with Anna for many years and had a crush on her for many years, also wanted Anna to see clearly. Jeff's true face, abandon the criminal and choose himself.

In order to kill her mouth, Cathy told Joey to assassinate Jeff without telling White, but the reckless Joey was dragged off the cliff with a hook by Jeff's friend and fell to death. Jeff finds White and asks to make a deal with him. He tells White the truth about killing Fisher, and uses those documents to exchange his innocence. Cathy was exposed to her true face, and she was frightened on the sidelines, and White slapped her in a slap in anger. Jeff gave White time to make final considerations, and he quietly met Anna in the woods. He told Anna his heart, telling her that he did not kill anyone, and promised to take her away from this place of right and wrong. This made Paul, who was hiding by the side, deeply moved.
However, when Jeff went to find White again, he only saw White's body, and Cathy shot him to death in a hurry. Cathy asked Jeff to go far and high with her.

    The character creation is very successful, and the two protagonists have very different images. Even the gang boss is full of personality. The female protagonist who has two faces and three swords with a smiling face wants to save the male protagonist again and again, but she is actually making a wedding dress for her own selfishness and irresponsibility. The male protagonist is affectionate, righteous, honest, and witty. He escapes danger time and time again, but in the end, he and the female protagonist die together, while his girlfriend and honest people in the countryside live a stable life. The characters in the noir film grow up and reverse, and the love and friendship in this film is very delicate~
