Tales of the Texas Rangers -- A Nighthawk
When two teenagers go to lovers' lane to park after a school dance, they are approached by a stranger with a gun who robs them and attempts to kidnap the girl.
Jace Pearson is called in from the Texas Rangers to investigate with the local sheriff. When another robbery attempt the next night results in a murder, Jace has his hands full trying to find the killer.
Outstanding acting and sound effects. Notice how realistic the initial attack sounds in the opening sequences. As always, great police procedural.
