DESCRIPTION:

At a crowded cafe, Brad Martinelli pulls a switchblade on Danny Logan for dancing with Sue Randall. The fight is broken up by Nico, Brad's gangster brother, who later administers a private beating to Danny. Recently released from rehab for his drug addiction, Brad is crazy for Sue, who is in fact in love with Danny. When Sue's father forbids Danny to see her, they run off to Vegas and get married. The newlyweds return home to far worse than angry parents. Brad gets hopped-up on heroin and is stalking the young lovers with loaded guns, vowing that no one but he will ever possess Sue.

Gary Clarke launched his acting career in teen and horror exploitation classics, peaking in 1958 when he appeared in Dragstrip Riot, How To Make A Monster and Missile To The Moon. He is best remembered for his role as Steve, a singing cowpuncher on the hit TV series "The Virginian."
