Set in the autumn of 1900, Red on Yella, Kill a Fella follows a group of outlaws as they travel across Texas hoping to recover a stash of cash from a railroad robbery gone bad. Along the way they accidentally take refuge in the home of a violent serial killer, take in a young, traveling ventriloquist after rescuing him from an abusive business partner, and meet a whole assortment of other crazy characters, both friend and foe.

Faced with obvious threats from the law there is also a more ominous sort of danger following the outlaws, one that leaves death in it's path. But who or what is it? The film will keep you guessing until the end.
