A dark 1970s thriller about a predatory con man targeting vulnerable women, anchored by a child's growing suspicion and the threat he poses to her mother.

A paranoid, leisure-suit-clad conman/gigolo named Matt Stone seduces lonely women, bilks them of their savings via an investment scam, then kills them. When he begins seeing an attractive widow, her preteen daughter Tina becomes suspicious of his motives.
