When the story begins, a guy is pulled over by a police car. However, the folks are not cops and they kidnap the guy. It's soon apparently why they did it...his father is a rich industrialist and they want the ransom. But there are a few problems. First, the industrialist suffers a severe stroke and he cannot do anything to help his son...let alone himself. Second, his other son is not about to pay the ransom. To top it off, the main kidnapper is a real sociopath and he's anxious to kill the guy and be done with it. Only his partner is willing to keep waiting...and hoping.
Like many episodes of "The F.B.I.", this one features some actors who went on to greater things--Ed Asner and Martin Sheen as the kidnappers. Of the two, the most riveting performance is Asner, as his character is cold and evil...and not exactly a guy who would leave any loose threads. Very tense and well worth watching.
