Street-smart Bill breaks into a house looking for food. Very soon he realizes it's a trap set by the homeowner who is old, lonely, and mean. What would happen to Bill? Would the old lady call the sheriff to bring him back to the horrible foster home he has run away from or would Bill be able to outwit her and get away with his crime?
