 A woman is kidnapped out of her house and brought somewhere and locked in a room. Now there s a phone in the room but before she could use it, her captor smashes it. She then tinkers with it and manages to get a dial tone but is unable to dial. She then crosses wires and contacts a young surfer. When she tells him that she has been kidnapped; he doesn t believe her and/or care but he goes to the police to report the crime. When he gets to the station he gets the run around. While waiting he hears the woman s conversation with her captor and learns that her family s in danger so he tries to help them but in the process of doing that he commits some acts that make the police think he s a criminal or crazy; like stealing a car and brandishing a gun in public.
