Plot Synopsis
Storyline
A stranger in a Western cattle-town behaves with remarkable self-assurance, establishing himself as a man to be reckoned with. The reason appears with his stock: a herd of sheep, which he intends to graze on the range. The horrified inhabitants decide to run him out at all costs.

Jason Sweet: Well, I'll tell ya, Angelo. You see, it's this way. I just got tired of kicking cows around. You know how dumb they are.
Angelo: And you think sheep are smarter?
Jason Sweet: Oh, no, no. They're dumber. Only their easier kicking...and woollier.

Good western featuring a host of old familiar shoot-em-up faces. Edgar Buchanan was fine as the sleazy corral owner, but I was shocked to find good ol' Adam Cartwright as the sneaky, chicken poop "gunfighter". The opening segment was a laugh riot but there was plenty of gunsmoke and flying lead for the western purist. Very enjoyable.
