Plot
A man (Glenn Ford) moves into a town where he intends to graze his sheep on common land, much to the dislike of the cattle-farming townsfolk and their leader Col. Stephen Bedford (Leslie Nielsen).
Review
An interesting take on the 'new man in town' storyline with some great additions to the plot. A good mix of light-hearted play with serious undertones and some great central performances, particularly from Glenn Ford, Leslie Nielsen and Edgar Buchanan.
