Four women have been raped and murdered in a very short period of time. The killer's signature sets him apart from other such criminals. The police want to catch this madman fast for obvious reasons. It's not long before victim number five is stalked, defiled, and dispatched.
Enter Detective Tracy Fleming (Donna Mills). She convinces her superior (Michael Constantine) to assign her as THE BAIT.
This is another wonderful made-for-TV thriller from the 1970's. It also has some borderline horror elements: Like whenever the killer is creeping around, or the scene in the bus yard. Ms. Mills is perfectly cast in her role. She has a real knack for movies of this type. Watch for June Lockhart as her mother-in-law, and William Devane in an early role.
The one drawback to this movie is that the perpetrator's identity is revealed a bit too soon. Other than that it's very good. The frenzied finale, in close quarters, is one for the books!...
