SEASON 1, EPISODE 19
MISSING PERSONS


A thin, shapely college coed (Eva La Rue) becomes a gross, disfigured human
food disposal when a pair of harmless tykes she babysits for an evening turn
into a couple of siblings from hell, who prey on her violent weakness for food,
and she literally risks eating herself to death. Elsewhere, a bored family man
(Timothy Bottoms) learns that a more exciting existence could also prove to be
a very evil and deadly one, when he mistakenly gets mixed up with a criminal.
