SOME CAME RUNNING

“Everyone knew Dave was back in town... and woman-trouble must be close behind!”

A former novelist returns to his small Midwest town after serving in the Army during WWII, to the chagrin of his social-climbing brother, and becomes close with an easy-going professional gambler and torn between two very different women.
