A crazed man who has killed a number of people with an ax is arrested by the small town's sheriff, Dan Stevens (Chuck Norris). But this is no ordinary psycho, and he breaks the handcuffs and heads for the hills. Some deputies shoot him; the story seems to be over--or is it? One of the
surgeons who operates on him is a mad scientist, complete with the appropriate leers and smirks. Filled with implausibilities and unintentionally funny moments, this early Norris feature was little more than an excuse for the actor to use his karate skills. Exploitative in nature, but popular with
its audiences.
