The Last Man!
Escape!
Storyline
An escaped convict holds up a store for cash and the owner tosses hot pepper into his eyes. Blinded, he grabs a passerby and orders him to drive the getaway vehicle or he'll shoot. The man tells him he can't drive a car, but the crook tells him that tonight he's going to learn. His vision starts to clear and he gets a look at the person he has pressed into driving and sees that he's had the bad luck to grab a blind person off the street just before they go over a cliff.
