An unhappy wife makes a pass at a dinner guest; she kisses him on the patio just as her husband walks in.

At night, a man is ambushed as he's walking out of a house, knocked out and taken hostage; when next he is seen, he is dumped in an alley, having been beaten up, with a bloody forehead. Shown in shadow profile, a man is shot and killed; another man suffers a bullet wound. As he is being held at gunpoint, a man secretly pulls a gun out of a drawer and shoots the man holding him. With high tide approaching, two men are pinned in a car wreck on the beach.

While two men wait for the oncoming tide to drown them in a wrecked car and as his leg is pinned underneath the car, a man also pinned inside the car pulls out a gun and threatens him with it, intending to kill him.
