SYNOPSIS: A mad scientist is going around kidnapping diabetics to use in his diabolical, diabetical experiments. To this end, he's employed a crew of loyal goons who utilize an old, vintage ambulance. It's up to a struggling artist to save the day when a pretty woman whom he's barely met is taken captive.

Chew on This The police detective played by James Earl Jones evidently never saw Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a kid, because he continually chews about nineteen sticks of gum simultaneously. Obnoxiously. Hearing rumors of a strange ambulance picking folks up (who are never heard from again), he stops just such a vehicle. His wary investigation comes to a bad end, though, as the "patient" on the stretcher -- to whom James had turned his back -- springs up and stabs him with a scalpel. The ambulance then roars off, does a bootlegger reverse, and runs down the noble detective, who dies...chewing. His jaws open and shut slower and slower until the inevitable. A death scene reminiscent, in a repulsive way, of Joe Morton's gasping death of Miles Dyson in Terminator 2.
