**
Short, unadorned potboiler, written on the heels of James Dickey's Deliverance (1970), about three couples whose white water rafting trip on the Salmon River in Idaho is crashed by four violent escaped convicts. Not in the least introspective, yet not hardboiled, either, as hero Jack Trahey intermittently wonders whether murderers and rapists deserve to die. Reduced to two couples for a 1975 TV movie starring Vince Edwards (Ben Casey), Carol Lynley, Vic Morrow, and Neville Brand.
