A Town Called Parable (DVD)

Pastor John Corell, a preacher in the old west, is suddenly confronted with the death of his only brother when a posse of vigilantes kills him at the midnight hour. As John paces back and forth inside the church house contemplating his strategic revenge on his brother's murderer, he remembers supernatural stories of the past that influence his next steps. These six allegorical short stories in parable form play out against the classic old west backdrop during A Town Called Parable. From a ranch hand worker who is forgiven of all his debts by his boss, who then turns around and threatens a co-workers life for the pennies that are owed to him, to a recently widowed women who effectively demands justice from the corrupt town judge.
