Warning: Spoilers
Ernie Parsons (Marjoe Gortner) is a gun fighter who escapes the hangman's noose. He is able to impersonate a preacher in a small Arizona town with no blue laws. The town really needs a gun slinger to protect themselves from the evil Mr. Ross (David Huddleston) and his gang. Ernie is aided by Slim Pickens in an eye-patch while he has his eye on Bambi Award Winner Pamela Sue Martin.

This is a 1974 made for TV film with a fun simplistic plot without any twists. Marjoe Gortner has some pre-Hasselhof hair. Film has some humor. From IMDb:

Head of Posse: Ernie Parsons, having been found guilty by a jury of your peers... Ernie Parsons: I didn't see any jury. Head of Posse: Well, they was around. Anyway, what difference does it make. You gunned down Windy Jones and he was one of our most beloved and respected citizens. Ernie Parsons: I heard he was the town drunk. Head of Posse: Well, now that he's dead, he's one of our town's most beloved and respected citizens.

Available on a 70's 50 DVD multi-pack
