The Greatest American Outlaw

Right here at home, in America, brutal fights to the death are being staged. These encounters captivate a nation, and beyond, and finally culminate in a television extravaganza with a viewership twenty times greater than on Super Bowl Sunday-yes indeed, the world was tuned in. For months, the news had been reporting, and police departments had been investigating, epic battles between what had been labeled impersonator killers. People were assuming the identities of famous outlaws from American history-like Capone, Dillinger, Billy The Kid and Butch Cassidy. Then, as if entered in a single-elimination tennis tournament, they engaged in mortal combat in order to move to the next round. Was somebody orchestrating this flabbergasting contest? If so, where were the actors coming from, and what was the prize for prevailing to the end of the circus? Stanley Gleason, the wealthiest man in the world, knew the answer. His young sidekick, Jason Walters, might have spilled the beans on this baffling case but alas his lips were sealed. In the end, there would be one man standing. Ironically, he was the only one that had anything to lose.
