Rolling Man is a 1972 American made-for-television drama film directed by Peter Hyams in his directorial debut.

Lonnie, a former star athlete in high school, now works for low pay as a tow truck driver on a racetrack.

His cellmate teaches him how to run gimmicks in prison, and he begins recording personalized love songs on vinyl for other inmates.

She is hurt by the question because of her feelings for him, and sends him away, but he convinces her to help him find his sons and she lets him stay the night with her, promising to always be there for him.

He stops at a diner where the bored waitress takes pity on him, and gives him a free meal while telling him the story of her own failed dream to become an actress.

Lonnie hitchhikes there and finds Mildred, but she explains that along the way while she was moving west, she gave the children to a couple of roving fruit pickers, The Maynards, who were heading toward California to pick oranges.

Bebe finds him there, and takes him back with her, and she makes missing posters for the kids while he laments his situation, and decides to finally kill Harold over it.
