A low-budget variation on "Panic In the Streets", about a murderer who escapes from San Quentin with a canister he believes contains a pound of uncut heroin. What it really contains is enough radioactive cobalt-60 to wipe out Los Angeles. Shoot up a little of that sometime and see what happens. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music and Lucien Ballard did the cinematography.
