Plot – Colorado, 1874. While Rock Ridge mourns the violent death of the sheriff, the evil governor Hedley plans the most outrageous slur for the industrious community of authentic WASP: he wants to elect a black person sheriff. Even if the color of the skin instills unfriendly and unfair behaviours, the brave Bart wins the hearts and minds of his fellow citizens, bringing the law back into his small village. All credits go to Waco Kid’s help, a good hearted ex-gunman with a hysterical trigger.
