The Sterile Cuckoo (1969)
Pookie en Jerry ontmoeten elkaar in de bus die hen brengt, de een naar zijn universiteit, de ander naar zijn universiteit. Pookie wordt meteen verliefd op de jongeman en gaat eropuit om hem te verleiden. Jerry laat zich al snel overtuigen door de merkwaardige mengeling van levensvreugde en angst voor de dood die het jonge meisje kenmerkt. In een motel op het platteland geeft Pookie zich aan hem over. Ze vertelt hem kort daarna dat ze vreest dat ze zwanger is. Jerry neemt onmiddellijk afstand en besluit het uit te maken. Hij laat het jonge meisje in de steek en laat haar alleen achter, om haar lot onder ogen te zien...
