Don't get caught in this town after sundown! When two young lovers are savagely beaten and tortured on a back country road in Texarkana; local police are baffled. Three weeks later; two more people are slain in a similar setting and Deputy Norman Ramsey fears a pattern might be developing. Texas Ranger J.D.

Also starring Andrew Prine ("Amityville II: The Possession") and Dawn Wells ("Winterhawk"); directed by Charles B. Pierce ("Evictors"); and based on one of America's most baffling murder cases; this horrifying suspense thriller is a shocking experience you'll never forget.
