...or never give a saga an even break!
A town—where everyone seems to be named Johnson—stands in the way of the railroad. In order to grab their land, robber baron Hedley Lamarr sends his henchmen to make life in the town unbearable. After the sheriff is killed, the town demands a new sheriff from the Governor, so Hedley convinces him to send the town the first black sheriff in the west.

Eine Stadt, in der jeder den Namen Johnson zu tragen scheint, ist der Eisenbahn im Weg. Um sich das Land zu sichern, schickt Hedley Lemar seine Schergen. Sie sollen die Stadt unbewohnbar machen. Als der Sheriff getötet wird, verlangen die Bürger nach einem neuen Gesetzeshüter. Hedley Lemar überzeugt den Gouverneur, ausgerechnet in diesem Städtchen den ersten schwarzen Sheriff des Wilden Westens einzusetzen. Doch der erweist sich als widerspenstiger als erwartet.

Italian (Italiano)
Gli abitanti di Rock Ridges sono vessati da una coppia di arroganti amministratori: il giudice Hedley Lamarr e l'inetto e corrotto governatore William De Petomane. Il giudice, per speculare su alcuni terreni, non esita a modificare il tracciato della ferrovia. Ai soprusi però si oppone il nero Bart, il nuovo sceriffo, che con il suo inguaribile e contagioso ottimismo salva il paese.
