The story of Wheel of Hell takes place after the American Civil War, and the protagonist is a former Confederate soldier. In order to avenge the killing of his wife, he came to the far west alone. After a series of events, he became a legend in the construction of the Trans-American Railway. The title of the play "Wheel of Hell" is a nickname for a small town on the central hub of the Great Railway, and it is also the story site of the play. There are typical western "elements": danger, violence, vulgarity, lawlessness, corruption, depravity, breast and buttocks, racial discrimination, mass immigration. The North American Trans-American Railway is the first super-large project in human history, but it is also one of the darkest and bloodiest events in American history.
