Howell (actor), Allan Lyne (actor), Conor McDermottroe (actor), Peter Stratford (actor), Michael Aitkens (actor),

Plot: The action moves along quickly, jumping over holes in the script, in this made-for-television drama about Eve, an ex-terrorist from Germany who is forced to escape to Australia with her teenage daughter Chrissie when she is sought by Riley, a lover from 17 years in the past. In turn, the IRA has sent two members after Riley because he shot an IRA soldier and must pay the consequences. The two IRA operatives looking for Riley come across a really nasty biker who wants vengeance on Eve for setting his car on fire -- and the three men finally track her and Chrissie to the wine-growing country of Barossa Valley. The final denouement is about to explode, as Riley also arrives on the scene. With under-par acting and a patchy plot, this film was never released theatrically.

Plot: Ernie Matthews, who operates the prison electric chair, is having a crisis of conscience about his role as state executioner. His unrequited love for Joan Wright, another prison employee, adds to his depression. She in turn loves Johnny Martin, the warden's chauffeur and a trustee eligible shortly for parole. When the despondent Matthews goes to a local road house after an execution to get drunk, he's taunted by a sadistic reporter, and a brawl results. Because Johnny came to Matthews' aid in the fight, the parole board, pressured by the press, turns down his expected release, and Johnny reacts bitterly, forcing the warden to rescind his privileges. When Johnny's mentally challenged cell mate Big Billy strangles a sadistic warder, it is only Johnny's intervention that keeps a second guard from being killed. Another vindictive convict, Gus Barth, the only living witness to Johnny's heroism, spitefully hides the truth, hoping that Johnny goes to the electric chair.

Quotes:

Jim Henderson: I'm worried about Ernie.::Dr. Robert Lee: I wouldn't worry about it too much. He always puts on an act like that.::Jim Henderson: Somehow it doesn't seem like an act today. I hope nothing goes wrong.::Dr. Robert Lee: Don't you worry, warden. When the time comes, Ernie'll step right up there and throw that switch just like it's all in a day's work.

Joan Wright: Well, your philosophy's slightly cock-eyed, Johnny, but I like the way you carry your chin.::Johnny Martin: My chin? [She pantomines a punch at his chin] Oh, yeah, I get it. You mean I'm always leading with it, Joanie. I'm sorry, I meant Miss Joan. Always talkin' out of turn - that's me sure!

Johnny Martin: [after hearing his parole's been denied] So this is what I've been working for, is it? For three years I've listened to a lot of guff and watched my step every minute because I want to get out of prison and now you're givin' me the business. And you want me to be a model prisoner for six more months and try again? Well, no thanks, mister! I'm simple enough to be a sucker twice from now on? You can take that model prisoner bunk and stuff it in the dismal swamp! I'll tell you what a model prisoner is, you hypocrite! Sure, I'll serve my stretch, every minute of it, but the day I get out, we've got a date, mister, and I'm gonna look you up and spit right in your eye!

Guard Mike Gurney: Sure, I'll hit, and I'll hit hit you again any time you get outta line!::Big Billy: Some day when you hit me, I'll squeeze your neck 'til it pops! I'm Big Billy. I'm strong - stronger than you are! Stronger tha anyone is! [Shakes his hands] That's why you're afraid to hit me without a blackjack. I'm smart, you know!

The Kid: I'm gonna complain to the warden about that executioner testing his dynamos - interferes with my readin'! In about ten minutes Johnny'll be kickin' off. [Laughs] Probably wishin' he could just have five minutes alone with you before he crosses over.::Gus Barth: He won't get five minutes of my time! He's through!::The Kid: Maybe... maybe not!::Gus Barth: Whattaya mean?::The Kid: Well, he may claim five minutes of your time on the other side... if there is another side, Barth.
