The justice system is tested when a group of angry rednecks form a lynch party and plan to hang a murder suspect. It might not be as lighthearted as usual, but Powder Keg is a decent entry, touching upon racism. The villains - here the rednecks - are vile. The set-up to the mystery is good, the detecting by Jessica is good. Stuart Whitman as the father of the dead bully is really good. Then again, he's always been an underrated actor.
