[3]: 286 Sue Fleming's suitcase opens by accident, dropping her clothes from a double-decker bus onto Norman Winthrop.
Steve Borden, the man she is involved with, calls her on the phone (though he is also in the terminal) and tells her to buy a ticket to San Francisco.
When the bus stops in Poughkeepsie, Steve and Nita Borden prove to be con artists, selling bibles at inflated prices to those who have lost loved ones recently, claiming they were specially ordered by the deceased.
When a tour employee demands the raincoat, Norman is shown to have only a bath towel on underneath.
When the bus later has engine trouble, the passengers go to a nearby carnival, where Norman challenges Sue to a bow and arrow contest; the prize, if he wins, is a kiss, but she proves to be a much better shot.
After Sue leaves, Nita informs Steve that she is going to tell the police all about his scams, so he kills her with a bow and arrow.
The police decide to take everyone to Reno, but as they start to board the bus, Steve suddenly forces the driver at gunpoint to speed away, with Sue as the only other passenger.
