Her boss makes a sale on a home and is paid, up front, forty thousand dollars in cash. He asks Marion to take the money to the bank before she goes home, but the money never makes it to the bank and Marion never makes it home. Marion plans to take the money and leave town to go to California to start a new life with her boyfriend Sam Loomis, who knows nothing about her leaving town or stealing the money. Marion packs her things and the money and sets off for California. On her way out of town she runs into her boss as he walks across the street and she is stopped in her car at a red light. As she is on her way to Fairvale, California she stops on the side of the road to sleep when she is awoken by a police officer, who is very suspicious of her actions, but lets her go on her way because she has done nothing wrong. Marion stops at a car dealership on her way and decides that it is smart to buy a new car…
