William Talman steals this film. He plays a Tommy Udo type psychopath who kills people who pick him up as a hitch-hiker. He channels Richard Widmark's Udo from the classic, "Kiss of Death." I was not aware of his role on the old Perry Mason show. He runs from the law in Mexico with two guys on a fishing trip. It is in black and white and the script is extremely weak but I recommend the movie singularly for the awesome Talman performance as the scowling killer with no conscience.
