Short summary

The Sherrif of a small Western town witnesses a sickness quickly overtaking the locals. Along with his trusty Deputy Carl and plucky sidekick Annie they try to save the town.

The boy who appears at the very beginning of the short is the Director's son. He's carrying an actual antique, 32.40 lever action rifle, which belonged to his great-great-great-grandfather.

Annie's gun is a replica of the one created for Steve McQueen in his "Wanted Dead or Alive" TV Series. Since then, this Hollywood creation dubbed the Mare's Leg or the Randal Special has appeared in numerous movies and television shows including: The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Firefly, Archer, Zombieland, and Westworld (2016)

The Sheriff's gun is a replica 1861 Lemat revolver. It was notable for holding 9 rounds in the cylinder plus an additional shotgun load in a second barrel centered in the cylinder. The Lemat has appeared in The Quick and the Dead and was The Man in Black's weapon of choice in Westworld (2016)

Shot on the same set as The Quick and the Dead (1995), which has also been used in Tombstone (1993), Maverick (1994), and Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

Shot in one continuous take, with no hidden cuts or edits.
