Four psychopaths, Hawkes (Jack Palance), a former prisoner of war, Sutcliff (Martin Landau), a pyromaniac evangelist, Elster (Erland van Lidth), an obese child molester and Skagg (Phillip Clark), a serial killer are permanent residents of a psychiatric hospital administered by Dr. Leo Bain (Donald Pleasence). When the security system fails and they escape the facility, their target is their new psychiatrist (Dwight Schultz), who, they believe, killed their previous doctor.

Listen as Johnny Has the Keys hides from not one but four psychopaths stalking us alone… in the dark.
