Army Lieutenant Halliday, accused of stealing the Army payroll, pursues the real thief on a frantic chase through Mexico aided by the thief's ex-girlfriend and is in turn being chased by his accuser, Capt. Blake.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Big Steal' is a classic film noir/crime thriller set in Mexico focused on a payroll theft and a chase. There is no indication that the narrative occurs during the Christmas season or involves any thematic, iconic, or plot elements related to Christmas."
