After spending the night with town siren Ursula Andress, married to a tempestuous drunk and the mistress of the sheriff, hitchhiker John Derek is framed for her murder. He gets handcuffed by the sheriff but escapes in his patrol car. He tries to find help from a series of strangers but the cuffs give him away. Robert Duvall is a deranged biker who joins in the search. Keenan Wynn has fun as a junk dealer. Sammy Davis Jr. has a cameo as a truck driver. Simple if effective drama that benefits from desert locale and moody soundtrack by Paul Glass.
