Breakdown

A couple narrowly escapes colliding with a truck while driving thru cross country. The truck driver shows hostility but the couple move on after apologizing. Unfortunately their jeep breaks down on a vacant road. The wife accepts a ride from a passing truck to get to a nearby diner and call for help while the husband stays near their car. The husband is surprised to find that the battery connections were tampered and aft rectifying the connections he drives to the diner, only to get a shock that no one has seen his wife. He sets on the road thinking that his wife must have gone to the nearby town but aft seeing the trucker on the road, he forces the trucker to stop. The trucker claims he has never seen the couple and after searching the truck along with a sheriff, the trucker is allowed to go. The sheriff advises the husband to report a missing person's complain in the nearby station telling the husband that maybe his wife must have left him.
