A detour takes them 100 miles out of the way down a deserted road because Jean insisted on taking photographs of a particular area to take back to their daughter. The couple later stops at the Arroyo Motel, a rundown roadside cafe/inn. Aside from cook Jim Cutler and customer Tom King, the place is empty. To their surprise, both Jim and Tom are hostile to them. Feeling uncomfortable, Jean tries to call home using a payphone, but the line is busy. </p><p>Jean goes to the restroom and washes her face. When she returns, Bob is nowhere to be found. She thinks he also went to the bathroom. Minutes pass and still no Bob. Jim and Tom are unhelpful, telling Jean that Bob probably just abandoned her. At Jean's request, Tom agrees to go into the men's room to see if Bob is alright. Tom later emerges, saying that Bob is not there. </p><p>Jean goes next door to the motel, where a woman named Vi works the front desk. She is also unfriendly and of no help. Unbeknownst to Jean, hurried calls are being made between Vi and Jim. Jean tries to go inside the cafe men's room, but it is locked. Jim opens the door when Jean threatens to call the police. Bob is not around, but she does notice a second door. The cook refuses to open it, and Jean contacts the police. Meanwhile, someone drives off in the Mitchell car and Jean runs out screaming for her husband. </p><p>Night falls, and the sheriff arrives. However, he does not believe Jean's story. He then sees the door to the men's room is not locked. The other door inside leads to an old storage shed, but there is no trace of Bob. An APB is put out for the car, and Jean plans on staying in the motel until further notice from the sheriff. Despite Jean's plea for him to check out the other rooms, the sheriff does not see any cause to do so. </p><p>Later, Vi refuses to place a call to the FBI, and Jean cannot reach her home in Los Angeles. A furious Jean has no choice but to search around the motel. She enters the shed behind the men's room. Peeking through the keyhole into the restroom beyond, she spies Tom entering and notices a light bulb illuminate next to her. A third man must have been hiding in the shed when Bob entered the restroom; the bulb must have served as an alert to the kidnapper that it was time to nab Bob, leaving Tom and Jim free to distract her as they carried out their plan. </p><p>Jean is then relieved to see the car pull up. But instead of Bob stepping out, a hulking character with a limp is the driver. She runs away, and, when Tom comes near her, she whacks him with a stick. Then, she sees Bob bound and gagged, being shuffled into the car and driven away. </p><p>The sheriff returns, this time believing her. The two drive through the desert towards an abandoned pump station, while Tom follows. According to the sheriff, the man with the limp is Lou McDermott, who recently jumped parole. There also have been other disappearances, something the sheriff neglected to reveal earlier. At the gas station, the sheriff shoots Lou dead before being snuffed out by Tom. Jean grabs the steering wheel of the police vehicle and tries to run Tom down, but is caught. </p><p>Bob and Jean are taken back to the motel and are kept in Tom's truck until the three perpetrators can figure out what to do. Vi turns on Tom and shoots him. As Vi comes towards the truck with gun in hand, Jean lights a flare and blinds her. Jean then grabs the revolver and holds both Vi and Jim at bay until the authorities arrive. Jean then calls her children to say they had a "fine time" on their trip and are coming home as fast as they can. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dying_Room_Only&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Cloris_Leachman" title="Cloris Leachman">Cloris Leachman</a> as Jean Mitchell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ross_Martin" title="Ross Martin">Ross Martin</a> as Jim Cutler</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ned_Beatty" title="Ned Beatty">Ned Beatty</a> as Thomas King</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dana_Elcar" title="Dana Elcar">Dana Elcar</a> as the Sheriff</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Louise_Latham" title="Louise Latham">Louise Latham</a> as Vi</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dabney_Coleman" title="Dabney Coleman">Dabney Coleman</a> as Bob Mitchell</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ron_Feinberg" title="Ron Feinberg">Ron Feinberg</a> as Lou McDermott</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dying_Room_Only&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although set in Arizona, the film was shot on location in <a href="/wiki/Borrego_Springs,_California" title="Borrego Springs, California">Borrego Springs, California</a>, in 1973.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Release">Release</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dying_Room_Only&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Release"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Dying Room Only</i> had its world premiere on ABC as part of the network's Movie of the Week series, airing for the first time on September 18, 1973.
