Lawmen

the long version

Tom Ford, the sheriff of Stanton, was gunned down while trying to keep the peace between the hands of rival ranches. Accusations of corruption against the sheriff were rife and the way things looked a range war was about to erupt. News of Tom Ford's death reaches his son, Chris, and Marshal Sam Ward while they are hunting down a killer. With both men out of their jurisdiction and receiving no assistance from the local law, Chris returns home to face his past and to find his father's killer. The only way he can do that is by taking up his father's badge - only to discover that not everything is as it seems.
