Meet Me in Tulsa — Christopher Davis

Meet Me in Tulsa is a prohibition era tale, when hard men took on hard odds just to get ahead and make a dollar. Atlee Dodge and Elmer Johnson plan to rob the First National Bank of Missouri from behind bars with both Jefferson City and St Louis falling victim to the pair of hardboiled ex-convicts after their release. Dodge falls for the German accented Eva Dressler as he frequents an out of the way gin-joint, asking her to meet him in Tulsa where he and Johnson will divide their take and strike off in separate directions. Johnson doesn't make it much farther than Springfield, but the dame is waiting at an Oklahoma bus stop. Dodge and Dressler drive west through the ill-fated night only to end up at the side of the road outside of Amarillo Texas as the sun rose in the eastern sky behind with the sound of the machine guns still ringing in their ears.
