Plot Summary
Myrna Greenbaum had no experience. Dan Mc Man had too much. When they are cast as the romantic leads in a B-Western, Dan decides to teach Myrna how to make love to enhance his own performance. But the script portrays him as a loser…and when the man whose role he plays appears on the set, Dan’character falls victim to a Kafka-esque twist of fate. Love and pretense, experience, innocence and guilt, all trade places as Red Desert Penitentiary is revealed as a prison of the imagination.
