The appealing Daphne Zuniga makes her inauspicious debut in this dreary slasher film as a pampered freshman sorority pledge haunted by memory lapses and bizarre, violent dreams involving her parents (Clu Gulager and Vera Miles). Despite some progress in dream-research, her condition becomes dangerously unstable during a Hell Week initiation stunt -- held after hours in her father's shopping mall -- further abetted by the discovery that a psychopathic killer has escaped from the local asylum. It's no surprise to learn where said killer turns up next, nor is it much of a challenge determining the killer's identity (a clue: Zuniga's nightmares are actually repressed memories). The cast is summarily whittled down, courtesy of several sharp implements looted from various sporting goods and gardening departments, leaving the filmmakers to tie the loose ends together for the ridiculously contrived climax. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

- 1972
Although crooked private eye Larry Edison (Bradford Dillman) has been thrown into prison, he still wields a great deal of power over Syndicate boss Vincent Vochek (Robert Ellenstein). Edison has in his possession a roll of film proving Vochek's involvement in a recent murder. The IMF hopes to get its hands on the film and turn it over to the Feds, and this requires a massive--but phony--prison break. First broadcast on January 8, 1972, "Stone Pillow" was written by Howard Browne. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A microfilmed list of undercover narcotics agents has been stolen and divided into two halves, with each half in the possession of a different drug kingpin. Though bitter enemies, Ramon (Fernando Lamas) and Arturo Sandoval (Percy Rodriguez) are poised to forget their differences so that the microfilm can be reassembled. To prevent this truce and recover the film, the IMF cooks up an elaborate ruse involving a stamp collection, a cache of rare coins, and a specially trained terrier named Chico. Originally telecast on January 25, 1970, "Chico" was written by Ken Pettus. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
