When he discovers that brutal death row inmate Gary Saunders' girlfriend plans on breaking him out of prison, the Punisher beats her to the punch by doing it himself. The girlfriend turns up, however, and proves to be way past crazy as she kills Saunders, steals the Punisher's ride and leaves him for dead in the desert.
