King Fisher and Ben Thompson make a fatal mistake.

March 11, 1884. Gunmen Ben Thompson and King Fisher make a huge mistake. A day of drinking in various Texas towns takes them to the Vaudeville Theater in San Antonio. Two years before, Thompson had killed Jack Harris, the theater’s owner, and the late man’s friends want revenge.

Thompson and Fisher are ambushed in an upstairs area; both are riddled with bullets. Although the killers are known (or at least suspected), no-one is ever tried in the case
