What happens

Matar ou Correr é um filme brasileiro de 1954 do gênero comédia e faroeste, dirigido por Carlos Manga. Dois vigaristas atrapalhados chegam a uma cidade do Velho Oeste, City Down, dominada por malfeitores. Um dos recém-chegados se sai bem numa briga de bar com o famigerado bandoleiro Jesse Godon e acaba por ser nomeado xerife, sem qualquer aptidão real para o cargo. Jesse Gordon escapa da prisão e volta para duelar com o xerife no trem das duas horas. Depois de uma crise de choro, o xerife vai para o confronto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
