In hot pursuit is Marzack, a cop determined to retrieve the escapee. Because Eddie has no transportation, he has to journey the entire way on foot, and his dangerous trek takes him through the backwoods -- where a strange, deranged family nearly murders him. After managing to flee from this demented trio, Eddie meets up with Jilly Buck, a bored rich gal who agrees to help him reach his destination just because "it's a slow Wednesday." [More]
