The story

Harry Baldwin, his wife Ann, their son Rick, and daughter Karen leave suburban Los Angeles at sunrise to go on a fishing trip to the southern Sierra Nevada wilderness, bringing with them a small camping trailer.

The Baldwins stop to buy supplies at a small town off the main road, which has not yet been inundated by refugees from Los Angeles.

Unable to pay for all the fuel he wants, Harry attacks the attendant, leaves what cash he can for the fuel he has taken, and the family continue down the road.
