5 Card Stud

The players in an ongoing poker game are being mysteriously killed off, one by one.

5 Card Stud



After a card shark is caught cheating, he is taken out and lynched by the drunkards he was playing against. Soon afterwards, the men who were in the lynch mob start being murdered, one after another; all by hanging. Who will be killed next and who is responsible? Is it one of the original party seeking to cover their accursed deed, or perhaps the mysterious Rev. Jonathan Rudd, who has recently arrived in town? Written by Alfred Jingle





Gambler Van Morgan runs a little card game in town but one night things get out of hand. A stranger amateurishly tries to cheat and, though Morgan ! tries to stop it, his fellow players string him up. The gambler leaves town but returns when he hears that the other players are being killed off one by one. It could be that someone will soon be after him too.
