This is the only King Bennett story that made him the victim. King is standing on a street corner in Las Vegas waiting for a client to meet him when a man comes up and asks him for directions to a hotel. King obliges by telling the stranger to make a left on Fremont Street, which is one of the busiest streets in the city. Then man proceeds down the street and as he makes the left on Fremont, he is gunned down by a passing car.

The events that happen to King after the shooting obviously smell of a set up, but King must still prove his innocence and find out what the real story is behind the man's murder. This theme is similar to the one Dean used in his 1968 western novel, Prairie Dance.
