Highway Pick-Up - Chair de poule 1963

Daniel and Paul are two factory workers who supplement their income by some nocturnal safe-cracking. But their luck soon runs out: caught red-handed during a robbery, Paul kills a man before fleeing whilst Daniel is shot and arrested. Some time later, Daniel manages to escape whilst being transferred to a prison and goes into hiding in Haute-Provence. There, he befriends the owner of a remote petrol station, Thomas, who invites him to live with him and his wife, Maria, in exchange for doing odd jobs.
