ynopsis

Ollie Pope is a man in a hurry. The nervous and distracted businessman's mind is not on his driving, and as a result, he slams into a young boy on a bicycle, seriously injuring him. Ollie doesn't stop to offer aid, but instead hurries off, trying to conceal his part in the accident. His wife and co-workers notice that he is increasingly ill and irritable. One of Ollie's co-workers, Pete Radcliff, is suspected of the crime and Ollie does everything to encourage that suspicion.

Before long, however, the vehicle seems to take on a mind of its own. The vehicle itself rebels against its owner: at first, when Ollie Pope is near the car, it honks its horn, flashes its lights, attempts to start on its own, tries to close its hood on him, and repeats the radio newsflash of the boy's death in an attempt to get Ollie's attention. Then, while his wife is driving the car, it drives to the scene of the accident and stalls out, seemingly determined to get Ollie to admit his guilt. Eventually as Pope starts walking to work so the car isn't seen by police, the car leaves Pope's garage on its own, chases Ollie down the street in a rain storm and plans on running him down. Then stopping just before doing this, the passenger door opens, and Ollie gets in. The car then drives him to the police station and Ollie walks in, ready to confess.
