Shaky, blurry drop out spots light in contrast and imagery Gov. Dave Scholtz orders Mayoress Irene Armstrong out of office and sends the National Guard to back up his ouster proceedings. But he fails to count on the lady's ire. She mobilizes the cops and prepares for a siege. Several shots of police officers taking "aim" on the balcony of the building, aiming their rifles down to the street below. Static shot of small town main street with traffic.
