Tony Camion: Jack Kelly
In this Kraft Suspense Theater's presentation, Don Collier plays someone other than a cowboy for a change. He play Luke Adams, the pit crew boss for Tony Camion, a race car driver in the racing circuit. Don is only in the movie during the first few minutes.
In the process of finalizing things for his brother's family, he comes to love his brother's wife and son as his own. They, in turn, begin to reciprocate his affections for them, and it gives him a reason to live. He tries to contact the assassin to call off the proposed murder of himself, and he runs into the usual problems of how to contact someone he does not know, has never spoken to on the phone, and has no idea of where to look. His only link to the assassin lies in a hospital room suffering from a heart attack and is not expected to live. As the deadline draws closer and closer, the suspense becomes more and more taut.

The
movie is about a washed-up race car driver named Tony Camion whose beloved
brother is killed in a race that he should not have been driving. The brother
only drove the car because Tony could not do it himself. In an effort to redeem
himself to his brother's family, Tony changes his life insurance policy to make
his brother's family the beneficiary and hires an unknown hit man to kill him on
July 20th. He then sets about making sure his brother's family has everything
they need prior to his demise.
