Synopsis by Hal Erickson
A pre-Dallas Donna Mills is cast as Mary Ann Collins, a rather empty-headed rich girl in search of excitement. Poor Mary Ann gets far more excitement than she bargained for when she hitches a ride with Jerry Williams, an AWOL soldier with delusions of grandeur who has just robbed a bank and seriously wounded a guard. Williams is played by a young Michael Douglas, who was helpfully identified in the original TV Guide synopsis as "Kirk Douglas' son". Within a year the up-and-coming Douglas would be more gainfully employed by F.B.I. producer Quinn Martin as Karl Malden's costar on Streets of San Francisco.
