149 — Tony Masero

Five years before they had put chains on his feet and given him a number instead of a name. Prisoner 149.Now the one-time gunman and outlaw Donnie Church is done with hard time and is free again.Filling in for bed and board at a hotel in the neighboring town, Donnie meets the owner’s precocious daughter who is in sore need of some parental control. She runs and flirts with a wild crowd, a gang of youngsters who are the undisciplined sons of the nearby prison guards.Soon a cruel and shocking crime hangs over the town, one that offends the ex-convict’s peculiar sense of morality and sets him on a vengeful path of justice. It seems that he has little choice but to step outside the law and do the right thing by taking up the gun again.
