Synopsis: When three women are kidnapped and held for 3 million dollars ransom, one of their husbands refuses to negotiate, thus putting them all in deadly danger.

 

A limousine driver waits by his car, a 1971 Imperial....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....but Mr. Bad Guy comes along, strangles him to death, and....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....throws his body into the cavernous Imperial trunk.
10 Meg 46 Meg
Next we take a dramatic view over the Imperial's hood....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....to see a melodramatically cheesy sneer on the face of Mr. Bad Guy.
10 Meg 46 Meg
The movie's title screen appears as the Imperial limousine, driven by Mr. Bad Guy instead of the trusty limo driver, takes off....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....with the wives of 3 wealthy men aboard.
10 Meg 46 Meg
But trouble brews as the Imperial limo rounds a corner....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....and stops, supposedly to pick up a hitchhiker, who is actually Bad Guy #2, who brandishes a gun and orders the women to be quiet.
10 Meg 46 Meg
But as the '71 Imperial limousine pulls up to a mailbox so the kidnappers can mail a ransom package....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....the brunette takes hold of the Imperial's luxurious door handle, opens the door, and flees into a park.
10 Meg 46 Meg
Bad Guy #2 hops out to chase after her, while we are mesmerized by the '71 Imperial's taillights.
10 Meg 46 Meg
The big Imperial looks a little ridiculous negotiating the park's tight curves....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....and even its woods, as Bad Guy #1 chases after the brunette.
10 Meg 46 Meg
The other women can't bear to watch, even from their sumptuous Imperial surroundings....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....as Bad Guy #1 bears down on the brunette.
10 Meg 46 Meg
But he stops short of hitting her (and Bad Guy #2, who has caught her).  The 1971 Imperial's impressive disc brakes send the women catapulting forward, into the divider window.
10 Meg 46 Meg
There is some scuffling off to the right between the brunette and Bad Guy #2, but the cameraman, thankfully, chooses to keep his lens fixed on the beautiful '71 Imperial.
10 Meg 46 Meg
After the bad guys have corralled the brunette....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....they go careening backwards in the Imperial.....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....peel out....
10 Meg 46 Meg
....and leave in a cloud of dust.
10 Meg 46 Meg
