Eddie wanders to a drive-in, where he buys an ice cream and falls in love with shopgirl Camille "Cam" Johnson.

Just then, the Cadillac's owner arrives, having hitched a ride with United Farm Workers in the back of a pickup truck, and starts to fight Eddie.

Eddie and Cam evade the pursuers, then break into an empty house, where they end up making love under a shower.

Warren smuggles them out of town to his house with Eddie in the trunk and Cam with a hat on her head.

He then strikes a deal with the attorney general that if the AG calls off the police pursuit, Eddie and Cam will surrender themselves as witnesses in the court.

When he encounters a police patrol, he demands they produce a warrant to search his car, and drives off when they fail to do so.

Cam screams in terror, while Eddie flees as the crowd waiting outside the courthouse runs to the scene.

In the final scene, Cam is shown sitting outside in a psychiatric hospital, still in the catatonic state.
