5 Card Stud (1968)

In the rugged, dust-laden town of Rincon, Colorado, in the year 1880, a perilous game of five-card stud poker reveals a gambler's treachery. Amid the tension-filled room, the sharp-eyed Van Morgan uncovers the dishonest actions of an imprudent card shark. The revelation sparks a fiery response from the volatile Nick Evers, who, fueled by a volatile mix of anger and alcohol, orchestrates a ruthless five-man lynch mob. Justice, in their eyes, is swiftly delivered. However, the echoes of their merciless act begin to haunt them, as one-by-one, the members of the mob meet their end in a macabre dance of death. Each death, chillingly reminiscent of their shared sin, is carried out by hanging, strangling, or smothering, casting a shadow of dread that stretches across the town and touches even the unflappable Van Morgan. He finds himself questioning if he will be the next victim of this morbid retribution, as suspicion spreads like a prairie fire. Into this atmosphere of fear and uncertainty rides the enigmatic Reverend Jonathan Rudd. His timely arrival, combined with his righteous demeanor, casts an intriguing light on the unfolding events. The townsfolk are left to wonder if the Reverend's presence signifies a divine intervention or if he harbors a darker connection to the escalating string of murders. As the death toll rises, the true motive and the identity of the killer remain as elusive as a desert mirage, leaving the town and its inhabitants in a grip of suspense. The fate of Rincon hangs in the balance, caught in a deadly game of poker where death holds the trump card.
