To understand this film, we must first understand why the sheriff wants to go back. This is the explanation for all subsequent developments.
The sheriff made it very clear to the newlyweds on the way back that there are 4 people on the other side. If we escape and are isolated and helpless on the prairie, even if we escape, we will continue to be pursued in the future.
So the sheriff drove the carriage and frowned and considered for a long time, and decided to go back to town. Because he wants to find a helper, and only in the town he can find a helper to help him level the disadvantages in numbers, and only in the town. With his years of service and police badge, he has this appeal.
so,
1. Frank and his gang are not seeking revenge from the town, but from the sheriff personally.
2. The sheriff did not return to the town to protect the town, but to find someone to help him settle Frank's gang.
Back in the town, the sheriff put on a police badge, and carried a police badge in his pocket and went out to recruit the police. Please note that the sergeant here started to use the sergeant's identity and badge to bid for his personal armed team.
However, no one joined. In the church, the sheriff once incited a group of passionate residents to join in, but the uncle of the town councilman stopped the residents and expressed their attitude on behalf of everyone: the sheriff, you are indeed meritorious and you have indeed helped everyone, but now on what basis do you let others? Help you settle your personal troubles?
The people in the tavern spoke thoroughly. When you arrested Frank, there were 6 deputy sheriffs, all of whom were heroes. Now how many people do you have to help you? Yes, it was for the benefit of the town back then, for whose benefit is it now?
So everyone wants the sheriff to go. The trouble is yours, you take away the trouble, don't expect us to help you solve the trouble.
In all fairness, for the common people, the sheriff's request is indeed excessive. No one will risk your life for you personally. Everyone is in the middle and the young, and cannot afford to take this risk. Besides, it is the duty of the sheriff to take public money to protect the public. What obligation does the public have to protect the sheriff?
The sheriff was desperate. This trouble was caused by serving everyone, and now no one is willing to help me. As time passed, he became more desperate and more afraid. He felt betrayed by everyone, even his wife. But he had no choice but to wait for his opponent to come. Fortunately, the opponent is actually very good.
So he finally threw away the police badge and the unrealistic illusion about the post of the sheriff. There is no essential difference between a sheriff and a bounty hunter.
This is not a heroic story, it is the only choice for a desperate person.
