(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)
After his brother is convicted of murder and executed for the crime, a young man becomes mentally unbalanced and begins seeking revenge on those who brought him to justice.
The film's most notable for the presence of comedians George Burns and Gracie Allen's son Ronnie, but despite his name value he doesn't have the featured role, which instead is played by Howe, as the disturbed teenager Chet. The name of the game here is exploitation and as such features a few overwrought performances among its cast, and a number of violent confrontations. Director Boris Petroff (billed here as Brooke L. Peters) also made the horror film The Unearthly, which is far more entertaining than this, thanks largely to a more reputed cast. The picture also suffers from a number of plot holes that should have enabled the police to tie Chet to his crimes long ago. Still, there's some pleasure to be had before the movie wraps up with a pretty unexpected optimistic conclusion.
