Synopsis by Hal Erickson
A young James Woods delivers a powerhouse performance as Caz Mayer, a brilliant but demented college student. Feeling he has been humiliated in a police-science class conducted by Lt. Kojak (Telly Savalas), Caz vows to get even by proving beyond doubt that he's capabe of committing the perfect robbery--and murder. As icing on the cake, the student arranges the evidence so that Kojak himself will be implicated. Pamela Hensley has a key role as another student who finds herself a helpless pawn in Caz's master scheme.
