When a sheriff is murdered his wife has the right to serve out his term. This is known as “Widow’s Succession”. Few women ever dared. It was a violent and lawless time.

There are plenty ready to prevent a woman from wielding a sheriff’s badge. She needs protection, someone she can trust. She needs THE WIDOW MAN.
