When Mike awakens, he hears Christina scream as she is being tortured, but because he is lying face-down, he cannot identify his captors, although he does notice that one wears a distinctive pair of shoes. Just then, a car blocks their way and Mike is knocked unconscious by the occupants. Mike is intrigued by Christina's demeanor and her plea to remember her if anything should happen. When they stop at a gas station, Christina gives the attendant a letter to mail and looks relieved. After Mike bluffs his way past the officer, the woman, named Christina, admits that she is the escapee, but insists that she was being held prisoner at the sanitarium. Before Mike can learn more, they are stopped at a roadblock, and the police reveal that they are looking for a woman who escaped from a nearby sanitarium. As they drive, the panicked woman, who is wearing only a trenchcoat, asks Mike to drop her at the nearest bus stop. Although Mike upbraids the woman, he gives her a ride. One night, private detective Mike Hammer is driving home to Los Angeles when he is stopped by a woman standing in the highway.
