What happens

Stingray is a 1978 action comedy film written and directed by Richard Taylor and starring Christopher Mitchum, Les Lannom, William Watson and Sherry Jackson. The plot concerns two buddies who buy a Corvette Stingray from a used car lot, and must fend off the criminals who stashed their loot inside. Along with Corvette Summer, it was one of two films centered around the Stingray to be released in June 1978, and was the subject of a feud with MGM over the use of the title. For some ancillary markets, it was re-titled Abigail: Wanted. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
