Plot summary
A rape victim, comic
book artist Lisa Roberts is given the runaround by the New York police. Tired
with city life, she heads for the wide open spaces of Arizona. Not long
afterward, she is propositioned by lowlife Randall Atkins. She reports this to
sympathetic local policeman Steve Smith, who replies matter-of-factly that this
is not the first time that Atkins has been accused of a sexual offense. To her
amazement, Roberts is later visited by Atkins, who agitatedly warns her not to
trust the sweet-natured policeman. Someone is lying about something, and
Roberts plainly does not know what to believe. When she finds out, it is nearly
too late.
