Summary[]
In a suburb of Chicago, Albert Prince parks on a dark street thinking he's about to get lucky with Betty — only to find out she wants cash, not romance.
And Albert is a few bucks short.
"Dig up the rest of the money tomorrow," says Betty, "and give me a call. We'll have a great time tomorrow night."
But Albert won't be seeing Betty tomorrow night.
He'll be having a great time without her ... in a stranger's house ... with a beautiful woman with a knife.
