Production[edit]

Tommy Kirk had retired from acting when the film was made but the producer made him an offer "that was hard to refuse."[2] He was the only professional actor in the cast.

The film had some problems.... I played a cop who has been kicked off the force because he was a drunk and had accidentally killed somebody. But he wanted to be back on the force, to be a cop again, so he goes off on his own and tries to solve this string of serial killings in the Los Angeles suburbs... That picture was a good example of a case of good intentions.[2]
