He recalls his escape from prison and the plan to obtain large amounts of money when his partner in crime, Jeepie, is killed during the escape. Circumstances lead the couple, after trying to get away from each other, back together. The two duke it out to get Tim’s money, which they have sewn into the panels of a pink girdle. They settle into a love/hate relationship when Tim realizes that she might be the perfect person to help him pull off a heist. The two wind up in Colorado where Tim discovers a part of Virginia’s past and what she is truly running from and the people after her. He lets her in on his plans and they plot to rob an armored truck.
