Character Role Analysis

Robert Slate

Robert Slate is a dirty, no-good scoundrel, and his coming to town spells trouble for the residents of Tupelo Landing. He's a former bank robber who's come to get money from his old accomplices… and ends up murdering them both. And then when he still doesn't find the loot from the robbery, he goes after the Colonel and Miss Lana—taking them both hostage for ransom. This guy will stop at nothing, and he's a major thorn in our leading lady's side.
