Those living in hot climates are acutely aware of how inherently terrifying it is to be trapped in a hot car under the blazing sun. Donna and Tad Trenton take the broken family Ford Pinto to their repairman to get the alternator fixed but find themselves forced to take refuge in it thanks to a rabid St. Bernard. If they leave, well, they risk death. But staying inside their makeshift shelter means death, too, in the form of heatstroke and dehydration.
