Plot Overview

Two law school students who moonlight as cat burglars set out to make Terry's life a living hell, believing him to be responsible for the death of a girl during a campus riot two years prior. They break into his apartment and steal a few 'mementos', including his tie clip with his badge number, his personal telephone book, a picture of his family and a bottle of after shave. The clip is left at the scene of a burglary, the phone book used to make an obscene call to Terry's girlfriend, and the book is also left at the scene of another burglary, one where a security guard is slain.
