...execution. The plot now changes from a moral drama to a horror story. The over-zealous prosecutor turns into a murderous ghoul ("I think the execution of the law upon an offender is something beautiful and moving") who will not be bilked of his prey. The brother, drawing off pursuit, crashes his car and gets disfigured by fire; the prosecutor, not seeing the difference, prepares to shoot the charred victim ("He's conscious, isn't he? That's all the law requires."). Mean-while McKenna, his faith restored by his brother's intended sacrifice, races to the prison to prevent...

...surrealistic camping trip in world history; and before the trip is finished, sober old Vermont turns into a landscape by Salvador Dali. First off, the boys light up a 12-ft. stack of logs-to boil a can of soup. Then they go jeeping across an open field in pursuit of a terrified farmer-whom they try to lasso. And all the while they recollect in flashback the crazy things they did while they were courting-like, say, the time Leo peeled a banana, slipped it in the breast pocket of Jack's best suit, gave him a hearty...
