The Sheepman

A stranger in a Western cattle-town behaves with remarkable self-assurance, establishing himself as a man to be reckoned with. The reason appears with his stock: a herd of sheep, which he intends to graze on the range. The horrified inhabitants decide to run him out at all costs.

Nothing sheepish about this Beef and Lamb Hot Pot. The Sheepman is directed by George Marshall and written by William Bowers, James Edward Grant and William Roberts.
