With nothing to do but perform upwards pushups on the bars above him, Crawley murmurs some vague threats and warnings that his crew will be coming for him, and indeed that’s exactly what happens: A small horde of gunslingers swarm the town like locusts, and the town’s survival will rely on Sheriff Kelly’s bravery alongside Marshall Carter, some local saloon gals with sidearms, and the unflinching Turchin, who reveals himself to have once been a General in the U.S. ![]() Sheriff Kelly (Joe Cornet, this film’s director) won’t hear of sending Marshall Carter away and agrees to put Crawley in stew, and with his honorary deputy, a hulking Russian named Ivan Turchin (Alexander Nevsky, who also conceived the story and produced), they feel confident enough to allow the Marshall to stay the night as long as everyone keeps their eyes darted directly at the silent Crawley in his cell.
