Chuck is in a small town photographing ordinary folks for the local newspaper when he's in the wrong place at the wrong time, taken hostage by a homicidal bank robber (Tom Pittman, a young TV actor whose brief career was ended in a fatal traffic accident).
The nutty robber wants publicity and allows Bronson to tag along on his crime spree photographing him in action, and our hero humors him in order to stay alive. Fun touch in the script is Chuck's inventive ploy of featuring clues as to future robbery locations in his photos for the newspaper, with the local editor/constable using these to track the killer and solve the case.
Of special note is a snazzy Edsel Bermuda woody station wagon the killer trades in Chuck's wheels for -pure nostalgia.
