Take your best shot, 'cause it'll probably be your last!

This is the one that started it all! Joe Don Baker is Buford Pusser, a man who walks tall and knocks the bad guys clear across the county with a piece of oak as thick as a fence post. When his town is overrun by gamblers, prostitutes and bootleggers, he tries to shut them down by becoming sheriff. Buford gets shot, carved up like a turkey and left for dead, but he keeps on coming. When eight men die due to tainted moonshine, it's bad news for the mob, 'cause Buford's out for blood!

Loosely based on a true story.
