Anti-LGBT+ propaganda of the 1960s often presented homosexuality as a mental illness. It was also not unusual for homosexuality to be conflated with sadism and paedophilia.

Found footage titled (1961, Sid Davis Productions, USA) warns young people in America to beware of homosexuals who will take more than they give.

Firrell's re-edited version reverses the roles of the two main characters. Now it is the young hitchhiker who is the sexual predator, taking advantage of a wholly reasonable and friendly older driver.

The artist's version, re-titled ridicules the idea that homosexuality is a mental illness, inherently predatory, and a danger to society.
