Synopsis: Peter Vollmer (Dennis Hopper) tries to rally interest in his neo-Nazi group but has little success until he starts heeding the advice of a mysterious stanger.

A hand reaches down and picks up the cat.

The man who picks up the cat is presumably its owner and he pets the cat while sweating from the heat. He then hears the rally taking place in the street below as the camera pans down. It’s very possible this is cat actor Orangey making yet another television appearance.
