Private Investigator Richard 'Bigg Dick' Bigg, while taking a break from a dead-end Las Vegas suicide case of a lover and ex-Vegas girl, attends a private Nine-Ball tournament on the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona. A fellow competitor is shot and plunges a thousand feet over the rim to his death, and longtime friend, JC Forkner, is charged with the murder. Dick must prove JCs innocence and runs into another dead-end case.

Dick is also sidetracked by a green-eyed beauty until, after two more deaths, the truth is revealed and with mayhem, carnage, and luck, the murderers are brought to justice in the only way possible.
