In all respects, Pam and Jerry North's car is an excellent car, with only one defect... It always picks the long way home! That's especially the trouble tonight, when Pam and Jerry are coming home from a long weekend in the country, and the car seems to have chosen the longest, darkest, and most deserted road. Jerry pulls over to have a ten minute sleep - and of course, Pam doesn't. Then she hears someone playing a clarinet nearby, and sees a lone man walking towards them!
