townsfolk covieniently when a crime has or is about to occur.
The 'fat boy' as he is called by the locals, is blamed for these crimes.There is no proof but it is assumed
that because he is an outsider to the town he must be responsible.
A vigilante group is organised which sets out to get rid of the fat boy and save the town from his 'evil ways'.
They find him and beat him to death. The fat boy's body dissapears however and cannot be found.
