Western, USA, 1969, 101 min.



The small western town of Vinegaroon is ruled with an iron hand by Asa Beck, a ranch owner waging a savage war against the local sheepmen. When a stranger named Jim Killian rides into town, Beck assumes that he is a gunfighter hired by the sheep herders, but Killian reveals that he is a preacher who has come to open the Mission Church of the Good Shepherd and teach the townspeople that they can live together in peace. Quick to attach herself to Killian is a young Indian named Leloopa, the daughter of a sheep herder hanged by Beck's ruthless son, Coke. After Coke has been soundly beaten by Killian for assaulting Leloopa, the young rancher is slain by one of the sheepmen. Enraged, Beck sends one of his hired killers, Mace, to burn down Killian's church. Although Killian is moved to take revenge, saloon keeper Madge McCloud uses her former friendship with Killian to dissuade him from taking up his gun. Calling together both ranchers and sheepmen, Killian delivers a sermon on peace, only to be exposed as an ex-gunslinger and convict by Mace. Then Beck makes plans to provoke a showdown with the sheepmen by driving his herd to the lake which serves as the town's only water supply. But Killian succeeds in rallying together the wives and children of both ranchers and sheepmen and persuading them to form a human shield at the lakeside. Incapable of shooting at their own families, the ranchers drop their guns and Beck is forced to admit that he has been defeated by the preacher's sermon.
