Sheriff wider Willen (1958)
Der rechtschaffene, adrette Londoner Waffenhändler Jonathan reist auf der Suche nach neuen Geschäftspartnern in den Wilden Westen. Er wird auf seinem Weg in den Ort Fractured Jaw von Indianern überfallen, jedoch verschonen ihn geschickte Verhandlungen vor dem sicheren Tod. In dem Städtchen angekommen erwarten ihn kaum angenehmere Zustände, denn die Bewohner sind eher schroffer Natur. Jonathans Versuch mit der schießwütigen Bardame Kate anzubandeln, ist mäßig erfolgreich. Um sie von sich zu überzeugen, lässt er sich überreden, das Amt des Sheriffs zu übernehmen. Vielen dominanten Einwohnern ist der Engländer ein Dorn im Auge, allein die Indianer stehen ihm bei. Und Jonathan ist der tödliche Ernst der Lage nicht bewusst...
