While riding down the Florida highway on his motorbike, Vietnam veteran Herschell helps a young religious girl called Angel, whose car has broken down.

Whilst cleaning the girls' pool, Anne encourages Herschell to smoke a joint; he does, and finds himself addicted.

He suffers a seizure, and the two scientists later find him, and, worried about being investigated about the possible death of Herschell, they dump his body in the woodlands.

Angel comes to collect Herschell and, after urging him to pray to God for assistance, takes him to the center to recover from his addiction.
