What happens
Tick, Tick, Tick, stylized as ...tick...tick...tick..., is an American crime drama film directed by Ralph Nelson and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1970. Racially provocative for its time, the film stars Jim Brown in the role of a black man elected as the sheriff of a rural county in the American South. It has become something of a cult classic for its cutting-edge portrayal of racial relations and its tense narrative. It was the first MGM film released in the 1970s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
