***SPOILERS*** A series of incredibly stupid mistakes by teenagers Josey Corn & Shnetz, Blake Haron Tony Denman Adam LaVorgnam,led to the tragic death of Eres or Jessie, Liesel Matthers, by her falling off a log and dropping some 30 feet below and breaking her neck. Jessie is the only one of the group who had enough sense to avoid playing their game of search & destroy against land developer Swenson, Ed Lauter, who's life they wanted to make as miserable as possible. In the end they not only caused Jessie's death but destroyed their and Jessie's father the local sheriff, Denis Arndt, life as well.
The sweet and lovely Jessie had earlier got the very introverted and shy Jonsey, with a little encouragement on her part, to get very romantic with her only to have him,like the jerk that he is, drop her like a hot potato or a used handkerchief! Jonsey not being able to realize what he meant to Jessi even after making love to her was so insensitive towards her that he had no idea this had the poor girl's heart broken and left her feeling like dirt! In tears Jessie takes off out of sight where it was later assumed that she ended up at Swsnson's place. With Swsnson who in him greatly disliking the teens in the area, who were always giving him fits, having murdered her! This set off a number of unfortunate incidents that turned from what at first was a harmless prank to a series of events that lead to both death and destruction to everyone involved.
***MAJOR SPOILERS*** It in fact was Swenson who besides the sweet and tragic Jessie who had more sense in his head then anyone in the movie; even the somewhat not that on the ball sheriff! That's by him letting bygones be bygones and having him not repeat the moronic and brainless mistakes,including in him almost getting killed by the sheriff, that just about destroyed everyone in the cast lives.
