A Sitting Duck for Death
About This Broadcast
Escaped killer Carl ‘the Grinder’ vows to murder the three men who sent him to prison, making Rocky the bait in former prosecutor Harry Bowman’s plan to draw him out. Bowman’s scheme backfires when his own disguise gets him killed, leaving Rocky to face the real Grinder. Rocky survives the attack and finds one last trap, a bomb hidden in a ballot box, barely throwing it clear before it explodes.
