&ldquo\;It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysi us Archer is released from Carderock Prison\, he is sent to Poca City on p arole with a short list of do's and a much longer list of don'ts: do repor t regularly to his parole officer\, don't go to bars\, certainly don't dri nk alcohol\, do get a job -- and don't ever associate with loose women. Th e small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's y ears serving in the war or his time in jail. Within a single night\, his s earch for gainful employment -- and a stiff drink -- leads him to a local bar\, where he is hired for what seems like a simple job: to collect a deb t owed to a powerful local businessman\, Hank Pittleman. Soon Archer disco vers that recovering the debt won't be so easy. The indebted man has a fur ious grudge against Hank and refuses to pay\; Hank's clever mistress has h er own designs on Archer\; and both Hank and Archer's stern parole officer \, Miss Crabtree\, are keeping a sharp eye on him. When a murder takes pla ce right under Archer's nose\, police suspicions rise against the ex-convi ct\, and Archer realizes that the crime could send him right back to priso n... if he doesn't use every skill in his arsenal to track down the real k iller.&rdquo\;
