1970's handling of creepy guys who won't leave women alone. Amy is a bank teller who is being harassed by a wealthy customer of her employer. Because she'd once had coffee with the guy before realizing he wasn't for her, the police have dismissed it as a lover's quarrel and refuse to do anything until he does something illegal.
In desperation, she goes to the Barnaby Jones agency for assistance. The younger Jones takes a fancy to her and tries to help. Along the way, he makes a number of blunders I find surprising, including not noticing two distinctive jeeps following them during a 90-minute drive out of town that enables them to further follow them down an isolated stretch of road later. Another reviewer also mentioned the unlikely scenario of the much shorter J. R. able to deck the stalker in the face pretty easily.
He carries no weapon with him until they are forced to seek shelter in a cabin and finally arms himself with a knife. Whereas, Barnaby Jones shows up, after doing all the work for the police, and immediately pulls a gun, apprehending the accomplice.
I also cringed when J. R. asked Amy if she was sure she wanted her stalker to stop.
