First aired on Jan. 22, 1960: Driving across county from New York to Los Angeles, twenty seven year old Nan Adams, gets into a car accident. She has a mechanic put a new tire on her car, and when she comes to drive away she sees a strange man hitch-hiking. As she drives further on she sees the same hitch-hiker turn up every where she goes.
Narrator: “Her name is Nan Adams. She’s twenty-seven years old. Her occupation: buyer at a New York department store, at present on vacation, driving cross-country to Los Angeles, California, from Manhattan. Minor incident on Highway 11 in Pennsylvania, perhaps to be filed away under accidents you walk away from. But from this moment on, Nan Adams’s companion on a trip to California will be terror; her route – fear; her destination – quite unknown”
