Heaven with a Gun
Jim Killian killed like an artist. This is the story of his masterpiece.
Directed by Lee H. Katzin
Produced by King Brothers Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A morally conflicted Western about a gunslinger-turned-preacher caught between his violent past and the desire for redemption, forced to confront cycles of revenge in a frontier feud.
Jim Killian arrives in a small Arizona town hoping to establish a peaceful life as the local preacher, but he soon finds himself in the middle of a feud between sheep ranchers and cattlemen. Leloopa, a young Native American woman, pleads for Killian's help after her shepherd father is hung by Coke Beck, the vicious son of the head cattle rancher. Killian must weigh his actions carefully lest he perpetuate the cycle of retribution and revenge.
