with the others. pilot shoots one of his own accidentally and sheba runs him down. she pins pilot to a roller coaster track and threatens to hold him there until the roller coaster cuts his head off. pilot manages to escape after he has spilled his guts to sheba about the identity and phone number of the big man and shark (dick merrifield of the hellcats) and whose reputation is so immaculate that detective jackson describes him as the guy with all the right answers. sheba baby isn not top notch pam grier. however and the idea that our heroine can handle everything by herself without help from
