The story

Friends Thelma Dickinson and Louise Sawyer set out for a weekend vacation at a fishing cabin.

The waitress brings them drinks paid for by Harlan, a regular at the bar.

Thelma wants to go to the police, but Louise fears that no one will believe a claim of attempted rape, as Thelma was seen drinking and dancing with Harlan and they would be facing a murder charge.
