She convinces her boyfriend, Landis, to help carry out her plan, but once the abduction is accomplished, Bernicewhose own mother was given to manic episodes and strange behavioris plagued with doubts. Will Landis stay with her, given her volatile personality and his own drifter past? Will she and Landis both end up in jail for this crime?
