JUNKYARD ALLEY has a crew of regulars who match any pool hall or bar gang for devotion. Curb space along the side streets is often at a premium because these diehards use the curbs to elevate one side of the car so they can get underneath to do their work on the spot. And it's not easy to break into the select group who know the owners and always manage to get wind of the best deals and the latest tips on the wrecked 'Vette coming in tomorrow...

In 90 minutes, Director-Writer Irv Drasnin, a journalist for 15 years but not a hunter, compiled carnage upon atrocity.

...erode his soul and corrupt those who enter his life. A girl who falls in love with him leaps from a roof and becomes paralyzed. His closest friend goes insane and attempts to decapitate him. A mistress who has misbehaved is turned over to three derelicts to be gang-raped. Yet Tarden is also capable of whimsical decencies. A political prisoner is released when Tarden blackmails his jailers; like the poor folk in Grimm's fairy tales, people who aid the agent are given windfall rewards...
