He reluctantly rescues half-breed Indian prostitute Lucy Damien from a backwater whistle stop only to have the whole world fall in on his head. They embark on a freight train-hopping odyssey to New Orleans, unaware that Lucy's rich white father and psychotic brother from St. Louis are hot on their trail. Sidetracked by a band of sadistic train robbers, Lucy is kidnapped, and the wounded Santo goes on a harrowing mission to track her. Reminiscent of such classic period noirs as James M. Cain's Past All Dishonor and Cornell Woolrich's Waltz into Darkness, Chris D. delivers a tragic tall tale plunging headfirst into a wild heart of darkness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"One sinister serpent of a story, an old Republic \u003cbr\u003ePictures western serial scripted by James M.
