In the Old West, a train is rumbling toward the town of Whiskey Junction, where the liquor flows fast and the bullets fly faster. Passengers include prospectors headed to their claims, a schoolmarm headed to her new job and thirsty cowpunchers headed for the renowned WJ Saloon. A few saloon dancers are putting on a show in the aisle to lure in even more drinkers.
Suddenly, robbers appear at the end of the train car, yelling “Stick ‘em up!” Most passengers hold up their hands in resignation—all except the town reformer and banker, Prunella Persimmon Potter, who stands up and loudly protests. She continues ranting as the train rushes into a tunnel, but is cut off by a single gunshot.
When the train emerges into the light, her lifeless body is lying in the aisle. Who killed her? Was it YOU?
