A pair of youngsters are out for a romantic drive, when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The boy decides to hike for help, leaving the girl behind with the car. Hearing a radio report that a crazed madman is on the loose, she locks the doors and crouches down in her seat, so as not to be seen. As time passes and her lover does not return, she begins to worry. Things only get creepier when she hears a hideous scraping sound on the roof of the car. This continues until she is nearly in hysterics. Fortunately, a police car drives up and recues her. The officer who escorts her from the car warns her not to turn around. Of course, she does - and sees her boyfriend's body hanging upside-down from a tree, his throat cut and his fingernails scraping across the car roof as he sways in the wind.
