Harley (Michael Burns) is a rich but emotionally disturbed young man. When the story begins, you see Harley sneaking around a ladies car at the country club. Then, soon after, the driver arrives and leaves. Soon after, however, her car comes to a grinding halt. Harley, in his car, soon arrives and plays the rescuer...even though his messing with the car is exactly why it broke down in the first place. However, instead of taking the pretty lady to the service station like he promised, he pulls off the road and makes a play for her. She laughs at him and he becomes berserk and beats her to death...tossing her body out of the car.
This is a case for the FBI as the lady was murdered on federal land. And, soon after examining the car a startling discover is made...the m.o. for the killing is identical to one that happened a year ago. In both cases, acid was poured onto the distributor cap....and it destroyed it and made the car stop. And, in both cases, pretty young women were beaten to death! Apparently, the FBI might have a serial killer on their hands. But there's another problem...a man is already in prison for the first murder (Harrison Ford)! So the Bureau needs to determine if the first conviction was an error as well is who is behind the latest killing.
Michael Burns is a familiar face, as he played various characters on TV in the 60s and 70s. Here he is excellent as a mentally deranged killer and he doesn't overplay it. Well worth seeing...and an opportunity to see a young Brenda Vaccaro as well.
