Your Local Sheriff! is a 1969 comedy western directed by Burt Kennedy. James Garner stars as Jason McCullough, a savvy, skilled, and unconventional man who stumbles upon the gold rush town of Calendar, Colorado on his way to Australia. Due to the wild behavior of the townsfolk and lack of law enforcement, McCullough accepts the position of sheriff purely for the high salary and promises of free lodging. With the help of a good-natured but inept deputy named Jake (Jack Elam), McCullough manages to bring a semblance of law and order to this chaotic town. The film is noted for its tongue-in-cheek humor, lampooning many classic Western tropes.
