Written by John Chard on August 19, 2017. In effect, modern cow town Spurline is run by Virgil Renchler, owner of the Golden Empire Ranch.

Faced with an obvious cover-up and opposition on every hand, sheriff Ben Sadler is goaded into investigating.

The poster promises excitement that never happens.
