This young-adult play dramatizes the story
of eighteen-year-old Bobby Fortner, who living
in a small town in Kentucky, discovers a tank
truck driving without headlights on a deserted
road late one night and stopping at a creek.
Thinking that something illegal must be happening,
Bobby tries to get someone to investigate,
but he receives only negative responses.
Pursuing the investigation himself, he is
chased by two men in a sedan who fire shots
at him and later try to discredit him. The
local sheriff not only will not listen, but
gives Bobby a ticket for speeding when he
was fleeing from his pursuers. Bobby's father
attempts to persuade Bobby to leave town,
but he feels that he must find out what is
going on.
Finally, during a routine physical exam, Bobby
tells the young doctor about what he has observed.
The doctor is immediately interested and agrees
to help. They test the water and find that
it contains traces of PCP's (a dangerous chemical).
Since the creek feeds into a lake which is
the source of the town's water supply, this
could be a serious situation. They inform
the proper authorities, and, after a shoot-out,
the culprits are apprehended. Bobby, of course,
becomes a town hero. |
