Stacy Palmer is on the run and tries to lose herself in a crowd at a Las Vegas casino. Young Jake Cobb, out on one last fling before his marriage, is attracted to Stacy. One of the distinctive features of The Dick Powell Theatre has long been its casting of star players in unexpected, offbeat roles—Charles Boyer as a prison convict, for example, and Robert Cummings as a dithering detective. This taste for the untypical is evident again tonight in "Run Till It's Dark", in which the young American pop singer Fabian makes a rare appearance in a dramatic part. He plays a Nevada farmhand, Jake Cobb, bent on a final fling before a marriage about which he is none too happy, who wanders into a Las Vegas gambling casino and meets the beautiful Stacy Palmer (Tuesday Weld). When she tells him she is on the run from a dubious character named Henderson, ordered by her stepfather to find her and take her home, Jake finds her story hard to believe—but he is greatly attracted to her, and agrees to help. They set oil toward the West Coast in his sports car, and Stacy's craving for excitement leads Jake into more trouble than he had bargained for. (thetvdb.com)
