A good-for-nothing hippie no one ever heard of.\u003cstrong\u003e Investigate!\u003c\/strong\u003e That's what he should do. But his good friend not only rejects this advice but forces the attorney to make a\u003cstrong\u003e solemn promise\u003c\/strong\u003e never to investigate the cryptic hippie beneficiary under any circumstances - not ever. The attorney finds this absurd. Could it be his friend the victim of some kind of nefarious plot? The situation continues to deteriorate until the attorney doesn't recognize his friend anymore. It's as though some kind of \u003cstrong\u003eevil spirit\u003c\/strong\u003e has invaded his body. So, he decides to \u003cstrong\u003ebreak his promise\u003c\/strong\u003e and follow the rogue hippie on one of his \u003cstrong\u003enocturnal escapades\u003c\/strong\u003e into the Haight-Ashbury. The attorney, disturbed by what he witnessed in the Haight - and wanting to save his friend from himself - now becomes obsessed with a single purpose: to unmask the debauched hippie as a provocateur flirting with \u003cstrong\u003efraud\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackmail\u003c\/strong\u003e and (it becomes more conceivable by the day!) \u003cstrong\u003emurder\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAttorney\u003c\/strong\u003e - mild-mannered, polite, pleasant to be around.
