Little Treasure (1985)
New Mexico 1985. A stripper. A loner. A dying bank robber. A ghost town. A buried treasure. A love story.
Margo is an ex-stripper who meets her long, lost father in Mexico. She looks after him in the waning days of his life, with the help of a traveling projectionist. The father passes away, telling of the loot from a botched bank robbery that he buried years earlier.
