AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This page from the life of a "drive-in" girl—a waitress in the American roadside cafes who serves the customers as they sit in their cars—reveals the twisted mind of an unnamed man. At midnight he came in his car for food, and there was blood on the window ledge; blood which the girl saw and which led to her being kidnapped and spending a night of terror with a maniac on the heights overlooking Los Angeles.'
