Plot[edit]
Joe Dakota, a handsome, mysterious, and not exactly pleasant man, reaches Arborville, an isolated oil-seeking community in California. He is seeking a former Indian scout who allegedly left the town after having sold real estate. Joe soon uncovers an unpleasant truth about the townsfolk and their oil well, which was built on the site of the Indian scout's farm. Also, a problem of attempted sexual assault is involved.
