After losing his high-tech job, Bruce returns to Powderhole to find his hometown in turmoil. The townspeople volunteered to lock their guns away in the bank vault, but now the combination is lost, just as citizens are dying in bizarre accidents and undercover agents are descending to probe the whereabouts of a reported meteor and rumors of killer bees. Bruce isn't sure whether he's lucky or imperiled (or both) when he's pressed into service to help a capable and attractive agent of uncertain motives. If enigmatic killer bees weren't trouble enough, Bruce and his attractive partner must parry blows from both a desperate rogue agent and the town's deluded commie-hunter. But the killer bees are waiting, and their program is to kill.
