The Grandee of Terra Loco

Dallas newspaper reporter Richard Leach convinces his editor he should be sent to Rylan, Texas, to write a feature story about an honest politician, Rylan’s mayor, who ruled the town unchallenged for over 40 years and who recently died. But when Leach starts questioning the town’s manager, the coroner, the mayor’s doctor and the mayor’s widow, he is told to get out—quick. When he refuses, the sheriff locks him up without giving him a chance to call his editor.
