In his last film, Richard Dix finds his life turned upside down thanks to rules and regulations for truck drivers that result in the suspension of his license. He finds that one drink is one too many thanks to another driver too busy trying to kiss his girlfriend than pay attention to the road. His only witness disappears seemingly into thin air after the truck veers off the road to avoid the other driver, crashing into a gas station ironically as a police officer reports in that nothing is going on. That officer, it turns out, is the rival for the affections of his waitress girlfriend (Karen Morley).
Unable to drive after the trial with a suspended license, Dix finds himself the main suspect in the murder of his rival, seemingly linked to the trucking company Dix has started. The road to his clearing leads him straight to the path of...you guessed it...the Whistler.
Dix helps a tricky, but intriguing story line, move along as a rather supernatural element takes over the organized crime hints. Who is that mysterious passenger who disappears? While only the whistler knows for sure, I suspected that he was actually the whistler guiding Dix to his destiny. Moving at a fast and furious speed, this has great character performances and moody photography as well to recommend it.
