Plot[]
Two prisoners named Mack and Billy were on a chain gang attempt to escape by jumping into the bed of a passing pickup truck. The truck driver was playing some ear-splitting country music and didn't hear anything from outside, but when the chain of Mack and Billy's leg irons wrapped around the truck's hitch, they were dragged along the ground like a rag doll and die from blood loss, skull fracture and multiple bone fractures, sending these two prisoners to hell where they belonged.
