Plot
Four college students (Dean Stockwell, Stefanie Powers, James Stacy, and Tina Chen) who take advantage of a credit card mistakenly issued to someone who does not even exist, then use their university's computer to counterfeit an entire identity and erase the charges they run up on it. None of them count on the computer seeming to have some ideas of its own, or on it commencing to murder them.
Ultimately, a man employed at the university (James Olson) proves to have stolen the identity which the students had counterfeited and to have been using it to commit the offenses which the students had blamed on the computer.
Paper Man was produced at a time when identity theft was neither as common a crime nor as difficult to commit as it later became.
