During a shootout in a saloon, Sheriff Hunt injures a suspicious stranger. The doctor's assistant, wife of the local foreman, tends to him in prison. That night, the town is attacked and they both disappear—only the arrow of a cannibal tribe is found. Hunt and a few of his men go in search of the prisoner and the foreman's wife.

Brutal, honestly, a little too much so to enjoy, but inventive. I like me a good western, and with Kurt Russell playing the sheriff it was a must-watch. But I think the one thing I’ll take from this is Richard Jenkins’ Chicory character. Almost reminded me of a classic character harkening back to ones like Uncle Billy from It’s a Wondeful Life. I love those kinds of innocent and flawed but painfully loyal and determined characters, and he played it really well.
