A pair of prison escapees plan to abduct a rich couple's baby and hold it for ransom, but have not calculated on the presence of an obsessive babysitter.
John Pinkney's review of the film, published in the Age in 1977, was dismissive. He wrote:
'This handsome telefilm had almost everything on its side – from Russell Boyd's poetic photography and Peter Maxwell's direction to the assured acting of such principals as Gerard Kennedy and Carmen Duncan.
'Even the unhappy writer, Bruce Wishart, achieved verisimilitude most of the time. But the story, written in an off moment by Bruning himself, got Wishart in the end'.
