Firecreek - Trailer

Johnny Cobb is a farmer with a family that only makes $2 a month as the sheriff in small town. A gang passes through town persecuting the townspeople. Larkin is their leader and does not agree with the way his men are behaving, but does nothing to change them. Problems arise when one of the men sexually attacks an Indian woman and a mentally-challenged stable boy named Arthur comes to her defense, accidentally killing the man. He is taken to prison and awaits a trial.
