If there were a sacred order of conmen, the first rule might be: when you stumble across a vulnerable gold mine, you better make one strong wheedle for it. When Fox comes across his gold mine, he plays for it so hard that he winds up drugged, naked, dumped into a freezing river, and asked questions that will get him killed. During his escape from his interrogators, Fox accidentally drags some uninvolved tourists, Angie and Ben, into their own version of hot water. Everyone who has an interest in this mysterious gold mine seems to think he hid contracts and deeds in the motor home the young couple borrowed for their trip to Yellowstone National Park. Angie and Ben don't know why their vacation becomes unpleasant so fast. They're chatted up by increasingly strange, hostile nutjobs, find their belongings searched and vandalized, discover their tires slashed and their stuff stolen outright. Finally the secret one-sided battle ends with an arsonist rendering the RV into a burned hulk, leaving behind just the corpse of an FBI agent. Playing the patsies in a tussle over a gold mine? That's no good way to vacation. Crook Salad is a little mystery, danger, humor, love, and greed, all the things that make living fun.
