The story

In an unnamed U.S. city near the Canadian border, the corrupt mayor William Dudley has allowed an oil refinery to be built right in the center of town, far from any river, lake, or reservoir. On one typically hot summer day, Herman Stover, a dangerously disturbed employee at the refinery, has been denied an expected promotion; additionally, finds himself fired after refusing a departmental transfer.
