本故事讲述了 Ken McElroy 在密苏里州 Skidmore 镇长达数十年的恐怖统治。他犯下多起罪行，包括企图谋杀、性侵犯、纵火等，却多次逃脱法律制裁，这与 Skidmore 镇人口稀少、司法系统薄弱以及 McElroy 本人善于恐吓、操纵法律程序有关。McElroy 的嚣张气焰最终激怒了整个小镇，最终导致他在众目睽睽之下被枪杀。这一事件反映了司法系统失效时，社区居民可能采取的极端手段，也引发了关于法律、正义以及群体暴力的深刻思考。McElroy 的故事不仅仅是一个犯罪故事，更是一个关于权力、恐吓和社区反抗的复杂叙事。他的所作所为给 Skidmore 镇带来了长期的阴影，也成为了一个警示性的案例，提醒人们关注司法公正的重要性以及在面对不公正时，社区团结的重要性。
