Eccentric German director Hermet Von Kibbel drags the cast of the
hokey hit TV western series “Days of the OK Corral” to a remote
studio in the middle of the desert. Von Kibbel demands absolute realism to shoot an episode about the legendary Native American spirit known as the Rattler. The shooting begins, the script is awful, the acting hilarious — especially by the inept star, Hoyt — but a fired blank turns out to be not so blank, and soon Hermet lies dead.
Or is he? Is it all part of his “game” of realism? Is he a victim of an irate cast member? Or was he the target of an ancient spirit hungry for vengeance?
It's fast-paced dialogue, colorful characters, tingling suspense, and frantic action as the group desperately tries to solve the murder
