Land of the Eternal Sucker. That was Coral City, Slade County, Florida in 1956.

But it's at night that the real money is made... at tourist cabins, at cockfights, and at plush, private clubs where the only winner is the house and nobody seems to care. Nobody except Pop Seegar, who owns everything that makse money and ruins lives in Slade County.
But now Bruce Kendall, a stubborn, local building contractor, is unwilling to play Seegar's lucrative, rigged game of graft and corruption... and that is unacceptable.
When an attempt murder Kendall goes explosively wrong, Seegar finds a woman to lure Kendall to his doom and restore the natural order of vice and corruption once and for all.
