SYNOPSIS:

Sgt. Hooker and Officer Romano rspond to a call and find a young housewife brutally beaten inside her car, with a Bible left on the seat. Hooker and Romano know it's the same guy who's been beating women, giving them a sermon and taking an "offering" in cash from them, always leaving a Bible behind. The next day, Hooker and Romano discover that two more women have been battered by the Bible mugger. Meanwhile, Tracy Hill, an agressive newscaster, is publicly criticizing the police and has a psychologist analyze the Bible mugger on her news program. Intrigued, Arlen Williams (the Bible mugger) contacts her and wants to talk. Excited at such a scoop, Tracy ignores Hooker's warning not to get involved and she winds up being abducted by Williams. Luckily for Tracy, Hooker and Romano discover Williams' living quarters on the grounds of a convent where he has taken her. However, when they arrive, Williams manages to escape with Tracy and three nuns as hostages. Finally, after a terrifying pursuit by Hooker and Romano, Williams is captured and Tracy and the hostages are released unharmed.
