Symcha Lipa (Jack Lord), a Hungarian born and raised drifter, is resting at the side of a dusty Arizona road.

He is picked up by Mickey Terry (Susan Strasberg), who drives him to her home and offers him a shower before he goes on his way.

The sisters have a brief argument, with Diz implying that Mickey picked up Lipa to be her latest sexual partner.

They are joined by the youngest sister, Nan (Tisha Sterling), who has just been expelled from school for her latest incident of misbehavior, and the mother (T.C.

They have a long talk and Diz tells him about the time years before when her mother killed her abusive father.

When Mickey goes upstairs to look for it, Lipa is lured to a back room and knocked unconscious with a statue by Nan.

Diz, overwhelmed, babbles that she told Nan to kill Lipa because he was going to cause the family to separate.
