A filmmaker's plans to make a movie about a notorious murderer are abruptly derailed when the killer escapes from prison during a production of a religious play. Still dressed as Mary Magdalene, the fugitive goes to the director's apartment where he steals some clothing and the filmmaker's car. Anxious to resume filming his movie, but unable to until the killer is found, the director launches his own investigation into the criminal's whereabouts. As he learns more and more about his quarry from family, friends and cellmates, the director begins having serious doubts about the killer's guilt. Matters become more complicated when the director and the fugitive's seductive girlfriend begin falling in love. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
