Heaven with a Gun
Heaven with a Gun is a 1969 American Western film starring Glenn Ford and directed by Lee H. Katzin.
Plot
Jim Killian arrives at the town of Vinegaroon, which is divided between cattlemen and sheepherders, and purchases a vacant barn. Cattle rancher Asa Beck, his son Coke, and his cowhands constantly harass the sheepherders, sometimes with lethal results, and the sheepherders are on the verge of retaliating in kind. Both parties quickly learn that Killian is a capable gunfighter and offer to hire him, but Killian invites them all to the town for a meeting. There, Killian reveals he has become a preacher and converted his barn into a church. He vows to the townspeople that he will protect everyone who lives in the vicinity, and warns that no one else is permitted to kill except him; when two of Beck's cowhands draw their guns to attack Killian, Killian shoots them both to prove his point.
