Pray for the Wildcats is a 1974 American made-for-television thriller film about a psychopathic business executive chasing his workers on dirtbikes through the desert after he killed a young man.

Sam Farragut (Andy Griffith) is a sociopathic business executive in Southern California who forces a team of advertising agency employees, Warren Summerfield, Paul McIlvain, and Terry Maxon to embark on a dangerous dirtbike trip to the Baja California desert in order to compete for his business.

Warren Summerfield (William Shatner) is a suicidal middle-aged ad executive who has been fired from the agency; the straightlaced Paul McIlvain (Robert Reed) is inattentive to his wife (Angie Dickinson); and brash art designer Terry Maxon (Marjoe Gortner) feels suddenly trapped after his girlfriend announces she is pregnant.

After being humiliated by a young American couple in a Baja bar, Farragut tracks them down on the beach while accompanied by Maxon.

He tries to offer the young man one hundred dollars in order to sleep with his girlfriend, claiming he is a "hippie with money."

Although the young man appears to be winning the fight, Farragut seizes an axe and destroys the radiator of the couple's car.

Maxon, manipulated by Farragut's promise of a promotion in the company, refuses to even admit the truth about Sam's actions, while the conflicted McIlvain resists out of prudency.

Sam, in turn, reveals he knows about Summerfield's firing, life insurance policy, and his plans to commit suicide.
