Terror in a Texas Town
When the Texas Plains Ran With Blood and Black Gold!
Directed by Joseph H. Lewis
Produced by Seltzer Films, United Artists
A low-budget Western revenge tale that trades conventional gunplay for a harpoon, pitting a grieving immigrant against a ruthless oil baron in a morality play about greed and justice.
Armed with a harpoon, a Swedish whaler is out for revenge after the death of his father. A greedy oil man trying to buy up the Swede's land might be the guilty party.
