Goofs
When the tire is flat, it is obvious in that the whitewall portion is completely compressed. When Lisa is changing the tire, turning the wrench counter-clockwise, the tire is inflated -- the whitewall portion is normal. When the boys are intimidating Ray, the tire was obviously inflated normally.

Quotes
[afterword]
Self - Host: That should teach you men never to accept a ride with a pretty girl. And judging from this instance, it did Lisa no good, either. The law is not kind to those who mete out their own justice. Now it is time for you to view a brief institutional announcement. As for me, I shall be hanging around at its conclusion.
[commercial]
Self - Host: Thank you for bearing with me all this time. Next week, we shall return with another story and three well-chosen words from our sponsor. Until then, good night.

Watch the gun

Bronson plays a wounded criminal on the run who holds up a gas station and kills the attendant. He then carjacks a beautiful woman (Albright) and forces her to drive. She tells him she doesn't want to die and will do anything to help him. Along the way, they must contend with roadblocks, a flat tire and a trio of punks who try to rape Albright. The pair ends up in a motel, where she reveals a secret about herself. Tight, nicely acted, and Albright -- by then in her mid-30s -- is incredibly sexy even by today's standards. Bronson was years away from being crowned the world's most popular movie star, but you can tell in this early TV appearance that he had what it takes.
