A young girl is raped and killed in a remote mountain forest. A travelling salesman with a criminal record is the main suspect, but the detective in charge doesn’t believe he did it. He discovers one of the deceased girl’s drawings featuring a black ‘giant’, presumably the real killer. He sets up a mother and her young daughter as bait in an abandoned petrol station.
