For Evil to Prosper

This here's the story of Jack Schidtt and how he come to be sheriff. Growing up with a name like that, Jack's learned a few things about what's worth fighting for. He's just 17 years old when Nicholas' gang, they's out of Oregon, start terrorizing the small town of Pergamos. It starts with murderous up at the Platte place. Later on, Mr. Smythe starts losing some cattle. Then there's what they did to Luther, Mr. Smythe's freed man. And when they ride to town cause of the bad weather, Jack's just sure the men are finally going to run 'em out. But it's just a bunch of talk is all they do. Even after Nicolas and his men steal the town's safe and kill Terrance Daniels, for no good reason, nobody seems in a big hurry to set things right. But when Nicholas shoots Jack's father, right there in the church building, Jack decides to take matters into his own hands.
