"What kind of nut would do something like this?" says an ambulance driver taking away one of the victims.
A triumph of regional cinema. It was shown theatrically into the 1970's.
A strangler is murdering high school girls in Huntington, West Virginia, and misunderstood Jimmy (Bill Bloom) is the prime suspect. Teenagers aren't entirely cooperative with police because they're trying to conceal their drag racing and forbidden love.
Jimmy's younger brother Mikey (John Humphries) steals the show. It was his first time acting and only movie. He was teary and guilt-stricken because his big brother took the blame for his stealing a bicycle which set Jimmy on his downward spiral. Jimmy tells him to stop his sniffling and a cop tells him to calm down at one point. I thought they should mother him.
61 minutes. Tubi has it in both its original form and the MST3k version.
