David Janssen is the sheriff in a hick Oregon town full of amateur actors. One day he is taken hostage by a trio of juvenile delinquents. He drives them into the forest and starts hiking cross country in an attempt to shake the local pursuit. He is seduced by one of his hostage takers, the pretty Joyce Taylor, but the film is not clear if they "go all the way". He eventually wrestles the gun away from them and leads them back to town. She accuses of him of rape but then changes her mind when he saves her and the town from a forest fire that would make Irwin Allen proud.
