One-minute review: Morgan Johnson, a new man in my home town, tells nobody about where he has come from and because of a scar across his nose he looks dangerous. Nobody wants to mess with him because stories get around that he has killed ten men.
That is until Wheezer Gamble, a little sheep man, comes into town, gets drunk and decides to take Morgan on. Wheezer pulls out a large sheep knife and Morgan disappears out of town. Seems that Morgan Johnson was not dangerous, earned his scar by trying to rip off a lady’s pocketbook, which she used to scar him. Should you take on someone who looks dangerous as Wheezer did? Grandpa says, be careful. He just might turn out to be dangerous.
