Rat in a Corner

Herbie Grant, a second-rate hoodlum, is shot in the leg while trying to rob the liquor store where Kimble works. Herbie later takes Kimble hostage where Herbie claims that although he tried to rob the store, he is innocent of two other liquor store robberies in the other towns. Kimble agrees to help clear Herbie in which the hood lets the fugitive go. Kimble is summoned to the local police station to give his statement on the robbery where he is recognized by Herbie's sister, Lorna, who works at the local post office. She threatens to turn Kimble in unless he turns over her brother who she believes to be guilty of those other robberies. But at a local motel where Herbie is staying, he is recognized by a maid who calls the police and they arrest him. Thinking that Kimble double-crossed him, Herbie reports Kimble to the police.
