When playing Five Card Stud you will need both an ante and a bet, the ante is set by the poker room.

Below is how the game progresses:

1. Each player simply places their ante on the table.

2. Players are then dealt their two cards one face down and one face up. Whichever player has the lowest face-up card by suit then starts the betting with what is called a bring-in bet that is half the lower full bet. The other players can then choose to fold, call, raise the amount to a full bet.

3. Next we move onto the next round where another card is dealt, this card is dealt face-up to all players still playing. Whichever player has the highest combination of cards showing acts first and can either bet or check. If however two players are showing equal cards, it is the one nearest the dealers left that acts first. Should a player have a pair showing any player may opt to bet at the higher limit, should this happen all following calls and raises will have to be at the higher limit.

4. In the next (third) round another card is dealt this card is face up, and another round of betting takes place with the player holding the highest combination of cards showing beginning the betting. These bets are at the higher limit.

5. At the fourth round all the cards have now been dealt and each player has one card down and four cards up, now a final round of betting begins once this has happened all players show their hole card.

Plot[edit]

In 1880, a gambler in the small town of Rincon, 100 miles from Denver, Colorado is caught cheating at a five-card stud poker game. The players, led by the volatile Nick Evers, take the cheating gambler to hang him. One of the players, Van Morgan, tries to prevent the others from administering frontier justice, but is unable to stop the man's lynching. Morgan leaves town, but later returns when he hears that a couple of the other players from that ill-fated game have become victims of grisly murders.

The town has a new resident, a stern and somewhat edgy Colt .45-carrying Baptist preacher named Reverend Rudd. As more members of the lynch mob are killed off one by one, it becomes clear that someone is taking revenge, and it is up to Morgan to solve the mystery. Finally, only he is left. He discovers the identity of the killer just in time.

Production notes[edit]

The song led by Rudd at his first service in Rincon is 'Mercy's Call,' a late-19th-century Baptist hymn written by W.H. Doane.

This film marked one of the last appearances of Inger Stevens, and the second time Mitchum played an unorthodox preacher (the first being 1955's The Night of the Hunter). This film brought together director Henry Hathaway and Dean Martin for a second time. The first was the 1965 film The Sons of Katie Elder. Martin plays a gunslinging gambler and performs the title song.
