Dial 1119
Gunther
Wykoff, a mentally disturbed fugitive from the State Hospital for
the Criminally Insane, steals the bus driver's gun, shoots him in
cold blood and flees. He intents on finding Dr. John D. Faron, the
police psychologist, who testified in his case. Wyckoff is unable
to find Faron, and instead goes to the Oasis Bar. The bartender turns
on the bar's television set just as a news bulletin featuring a photograph
of the escaped convict appears on the screen, he immediately recognizes
Wykoff from the photograph. When he tries to call the police, the
escapee shoots him. Wyckoff then holds everyone in the bar hostage.
Later, Dr. Faron appears. Mentioning that the army rejected him, Wyckoff
becomes angry and shoots Faron. Freddy grabs a gun she sees behind
the bar and shoots Wykoff. The wounded Wyckoff is then killed by a
barrage of police gunfire as he tries to leave the bar.
