A cross-blend of a soap opera and a biblical tale set in an agricultural area just after the turn of the century, THE WALLS OF JERICHO has all the deadly sins Sunday school teachers have always warned about: envy, greed, hate, murder, and the list goes on. It's 1908 in Kansas; Wilde is a
lawyer in the town of Jericho. His wife, Dvorak, is a drunk and doesn't much care who knows it. The Wilde-Dvorak relationship is further muddled by his love for Baxter, another attorney, and the fact that his best friend (Douglas) has a wife (Darnell) who is making eyes at him. Wilde can't handle
three women at once so he spurns Darnell, who gets steamed and starts trouble for Wild...
