Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Future film director Ron Howard is cast as 14-year-old Jess Orkin, who runs away from home after mistakenly believing that he has killed his uncle. During his flight, Jess linkes up with John Evans (J.D. Cannon, a genuine killer who is planning to rob and murder a wealthy Pennsylvania farm family headed by Dan Scott (Charles Bateman) Convincing the impressionable Jess that he is the "good guy" and Scott is the "villain", Evans sweet-talks the boy into becoming his accomplice...while Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) races against time to save several innocent lives.
