The Candy Snatchers

Candy (Susan Sennett) is a 16-year-old girl who gets kidnapped on her way home from her Catholic school. The three kidnappers include Eddy (Vince Martorano), his partner Jessie (Tiffany Bolling) and Jessie's brother Alan (Brad David). After taking her in their van and tying her up, they bury her alive in a Southern California field. They give her a pipe for air, expecting they will soon gain a ransom from her father. Unbeknownst to them, Sean Newton (Christopher Trueblood) - an autistic young boy living nearby - witnesses their crime. He returns home and tries to tell his intolerant parents - Dudley (Jerry Butts) and Audrey (Bonnie Boland) - about what he saw.
