“They called him the STRANGER WITH A GUN...”

WesternComedy

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.

VIBE

A colorful, charming Western that playfully subverts expectations. It's a witty clash of old ways and new ideas, packed with good-natured banter and a surprising amount of heart. A fun, feel-good ride through the frontier.
