Gioventù bruciata (1955)
I giovani Jim, Judy e Plato sono accusati di aver aggredito un uomo. Il giorno dopo, Buzz e i suoi sfidano Jim a una pericolosa gara detta “la corsa del coniglio”: correre in auto verso un precipizio e lanciarsi dalla macchina il più tardi possibile. È Buzz a morire, e Jim si rifugia in una casa isolata dove si trova anche Plato che, scosso e impaurito, spara verso i nemici. Nascostosi nel Planetarium, non ascolta nessuno tranne Jim, che riesce effettivamente a svuotargli il caricatore dell'arma. Plato, però, esce di corsa dall'edificio brandendo ancora la pistola e la polizia, accorsa nel frattempo, lo fredda lasciandolo cadavere sul prato antistante. Jim, disperato, copre il corpo dell'amico con il suo giubbotto rosso fiammante.
