It was Blake's first film in six years and first since his popular TV series, Baretta left the airwaves.

A wealthy neurotic woman escapes from a New York mental asylum, and hitches a ride back to California with a moody down-on-his-luck cowboy trucker.

She was committed to a New York mental institution by her husband, Benjamin, in order to keep her from divorcing him and taking his money.

Before realizing she is on his truck, he hears over his CB radio about her escape and a substantial reward for her return.

After getting out of the truck, Benjamin tries to choke her to death, but Callahan jumps out of the trailer and tackles him to the canvas.
