Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS**** Sick & tired of her Aunt Mea, Jeanette Nolan, telling her what to do 15 year old Janice, Carol Lynley, spends her spare time at the notorious Wolly Bear Road House looking for action with the local hard drinking sh*t-kickers who spend there time there chilling out. It's Janice's meek as well as abused, in being a 1st class wimp, boyfriend Stan, Stephen Joyce, who tries to get her out of the habit of getting into trouble there by being underage and hanging out with the wrong crowd. Finding the "Man" of her dreams the hairy and muscled bound drifter Tex, Vince Edwards, Janice goes out of her way trying to get the big guy interested as well as spend the night with her. Tex for his part shows no interest in Janice knowing that in having anything to do with her sexually would end up putting him behind bars for life if not longer.

Never giving Tex time to even breath Janice finally forces him to take her home where if her Aunt Mea saw them together she would blow a fit. It's there that Janic plans to get even with her overbearing Aunt Mea and use the unsuspecting Tex to do the job for her. Making out, by acting hysterical, that Tex attempted to assault her has local Sheriff Matt,Rusty Lane, come on the scene and finds Aunt Mea dead with her skull smashed in. Now really in hot water the shocked and confused Tex the #1 suspect in Aunt Mea's murder could only plead innocent, which no one will believe, in Aunt Mea's death!

****SPOILERS**** With everything going smoothly for Janice and Tex looking at a life sentence, at the last, behind bars the truth suddenly comes to light to what really happened and who was behind it. And that turned out to be Janice's dejected boyfriend Stan who just happened to come on the scene to ask, on his hands and knees, Janice out on a date. If Stan whom Janice earlier told to get lost and stayed lost had not acted like a love starved and abused puppy things would have turned out a hell of a lot different for her as well as the object of her manipulation Tex!
