Inhaltsangabe: When Sam Pine (Raymond Massey) tries to rush his injured son to a hospital, a traveling salesman named Ed Fratus (Robert Emhardt), hogs the road by purposely driving slow enough, so they can't pass on the country road. The young man dies before they can reach the medical facility, and the doctor confesses that had they managed to get the boy to him fifteen minutes sooner, young Davey might have lived. Knowing that the salesman returns to the local tavern to peddle business on occasion, Sam plays the role of a kind Samaritan, offers Fratus a few drinks, and recalls the details of the road hog responsible for his boy's death. When Fratus realizes that what he drank was poison, the salesman jumps in his car and starts speeding down the road. But Clay (Richard Chamberlain), one of Sam's sons, is driving down the road at such a slow rate of speed that Fratus screams for the boy to pull over. In a hasty attempt to pass Clay's truck, Fratus gets into a severe auto accident that takes his life. An that's what the police will think when they arrive on the scene of the crash, since Fratus actually drank liquor, not poison.
