After barely escaping with their lives, they report the incident to the local sheriff (R.G. Armstrong) who finds little evidence to support their claim.

Race with the Devil by Robbyn and Barry K. Grant (1149 words)
RACE WITH THE DEVIL is a clumsily directed melodrama based on an illogical script, featuring weak characterization and uninspired editing.
In RACE WITH THE DEVIL the Warren Oates character emphasizes that he has waited five years for this vacation from the job pressures shown at the film’s start.
For this reason, RACE WITH THE DEVIL is one of the most un­assuming and at the same time most interesting of recent U.S. films.
