Bronson plays a wounded criminal on the run who holds up a gas station and kills the attendant. He then carjacks a beautiful woman (Albright) and forces her to drive. She tells him she doesn't want to die and will do anything to help him. Along the way, they must contend with roadblocks, a flat tire and a trio of punks who try to rape Albright. The pair ends up in a motel, where she reveals a secret about herself. Tight, nicely acted, and Albright -- by then in her mid-30s -- is incredibly sexy even by today's standards. Bronson was years away from being crowned the world's most popular movie star, but you can tell in this early TV appearance that he had what it takes.
