David Fielding (Edward Connell) has been in an institution since he ran from the woods leaving behind his girl friend Susan Turner (Barbara Hewitt) and two others, good buddy Jim (Frank Bonner) and his girl friend Vicki (Robin Christopher) after their picnic gone bad and he retells the tale to the reporter. When they arrive at the State Park they discover a cave with maniacal laughter emanating from it and upon investigating discover an old man who gives them a large book containing ancient hieroglyphics and other indecipherable symbols.
