The relationship between Seymour Capital, a talented but lazy artist, and his ambitious wife Polly, is in trouble. Polly reluctantly works to support them both, a doomed arrangement she had instigated to enable Seymour to prepare for an exhibition that never materialised.
Things change when Polly walks in on an armed hold-up masterminded by an amateur, bungling gang. Polly is taken hostage but manages to escape in the getaway car containing the stolen money.
Tapping into instincts Polly had developed in her dubious past, she finds herself making decisions that have both frightening and surprising consequences when she successfully finances a career for Seymour by bribing a failing gallery to show his work.
