Going Back to Dallas is the prohibition era tale of Calvin Leff returning to Dallas after being shot, to settle the score with a pair of whiskey men that have moved in killing his friend Elijah Corey along the way. Over a shared cigarette, Leff is befriended by Charlie Porter, just released from the big-house. Ducking the rain under the corrugated tin roof of a Greyhound bus stop, Porter signs on to help the young man make things right. Illegal gin-joints burn and blood spills as Leff and Porter even the score before climbing aboard a southbound freight for a ride home to Juarez.
