Synopsis:

A gambler and a detective are caught in a land war, and the stakes are life or death in this action-packaged Ralph Compton western.

The streets of Green Meadow, Oklahoma, are flowing red with blood. At the scene of every grisly murder is a threatening message: Get out! A mysterious villain known as the Fat Man wants the black gold hidden beneath the town, and he's willing to wipe out every man, woman, and child to get it.

Only two men serve up any protection for the endangered citizens: seedy gambler Chauncey Drake and scrappy Pinkerton agent Reuben Withers. Against all odds, these underdogs will fight the Fat Man tooth and nail--and feed him a steady diet of fiery-hot lead and ice-cold revenge....
