After a wild night, wealthy Michael Reston's adulterous wife Charleen comes home with her
ripe young body barely concealed by a dress in rags; murder results. Top defense lawyer
J.G. Blane, whose own marriage exists in name only, arrives in Desert View, Nevada to find
the townsfolk and politically powerful Sheriff Hoak distinctly hostile to the Restons. In due
course, Blane discovers he's been "taken for a ride," and that quiet desert communities
can be deadly...
