"Tied to the Tracks"

Synopsis: The action takes place in this little town in Dakota Territory during the 1880s. Our heroine, Dakota Melody, runs the town's only hotel. The Sheriff, Billy Bold (hero), likes her — a lot, but Professor Silas Scavenger (villain), a patent medicine showman, and his sidekick (a fake Sioux Indian) frame up poor Billy who's thrown in the pokey leaving the field clear for Silas to romance the innocent, comely Dakota. But, gadzooks! She spurns his oily advances. Miffed, he gets even the way all great villains do: he ties her to the railroad tracks in the path of the Midnight Express!
