13 April 2021
A father and son are driving an oil truck through the desert, near the Mexican border (Burt Reynolds and James Bell) when the truck develops engine trouble. Soon a couple rogues (Murray Hamilton and Harry Dean Stanton) come zooming down this dirt road and nearly hit the disabled truck. Their car has to swerve and they smash up their vehicle...and it's now undrivable. At first, it just seems like an accident and nothing more...until one of the truck drivers looks in the disabled car and sees a woman on the back flood....bound and gagged! Obviously the men in the car are kidnappers...and the gun they pull proves they aren't exactly social workers!! Soon the drivers are able to repair their truck...and the kidnappers take it and leave the others stranded in the middle of no where. What's next? See the show and find out for yourself.

This is a really good episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" because it features some fine actors and some great writing. A wonderful twist and folks getting their just desserts makes this one to see! Very satisfying to watch from start to finish.
