Dave sees a lonely girl sitting at the same place every night. He doesn't get anywhere with her until she thinks she sees another bike rider drive up and thinks it is Tim. She faints and when she wakes up, she is more friendly to Dave. She starts going out with him, but still seems sad. It isn't until Dave accepts a dare to cross the bridge with his motor bike on the parapet that he learns the reason for her sadness.
