Nothing much ever happens in the small town of Meyersdale, until now. While awaiting transport from the Meyersdale jail, Joseph Nicely, a notorious outlaw, ends up dead in his cell. Local residents race to the scene of the crime, each with their own motive. Help the townsfolk solve this hilarious murder before the real killer leaves town.
Cast members are: Ian Edwards (Kid Franklin Black), Aaron Thomas (Sheriff Swindell), Mae Smith (Conservative righteous citizen Mrs. Meyers), Amy McKenzie (saloon girl Florence Murth), Mike Swick (Bishop Conrad Lint), Andrew Thomas (Doctor McKinley), Connie Shankle (school teacher Miss Cook), Tom Miller (former outlaw Jerry McCarty) and Fred DiPasquale (stranger). Prompter is Rita Thomas and director is Mardi Vincent.
