SYNOPSIS: Yet another in the severely under-represented genre of Vampire Westerns, this film focuses on a small-town preacher who runs afoul of an unbeaten gunslinger-for-hire. Little does anyone suspect the reason the gunslinger's unbeaten -- he's a vampire who doesn't care if he's a little slow on the draw, since ordinary bullets can't hurt him. The vampire has designs on his pretty landlady, the preacher's girlfriend. When the preacher discovers his unholy secret, the gunslinger challenges him to a duel -- at high noon, no less. Can even God help the preacher now (or this film)?
