Overview

A detective uses his gun to speak for the oppressed in this Ralph Compton western.

Former big city detective John McBride is an easy-going man-until people rub him the wrong way. So he's less than pleased when the fast-gun marshal of Rest and Be Thankful warns him to behave himself, or else he'll wind up swinging next to the three hanged men outside of town.

Driven by the plight of the town's terrified citizenry, and one beautiful woman in particular, McBride takes on the local lawman, an evil mayor and his cruel son, and a small army of hired gunmen.

Helped by a mysterious white-haired preacher who shoots first and asks questions later, McBride will give the townsfolk reason to be thankful-and their vicious tormentors eternal rest in hell.
