The plot concerns a pair of delinquent teens who go on a statewide shooting spree after escaping from reform school.

With the police hot on their trail, they take over a farmhouse owned by the Grants and terrorize the family while waiting for their friend Al to arrive with money and transport.

The fugitives are cornered at the Griffith Observatory, where Terry is fatally shot by the police, and Mike is subdued by Ben.

But every one of the sketches is memorable, and indicative of the wilder, more high-energy tone that came into the show after Mike became the host.
