Nine years inside, no gold, nobody believes him — and now someone's gonna die for the truth.
Les Dalton is on parole after nine years in prison for armed robbery, and now everyone wants to know what happened to the missing gold. He claims it never existed, but no-one believes him, including the retired detective who headed the original manhunt.
