The Quarry

He assumes the preacher's identity and heads to Bevel, where the townspeople are all too happy to help him settle in. Though he's accepted by the Spanish speaking congregation and his landlady, Celia (Moreno), trouble continues to follow the man when he inadvertently draws the attention of the town's police chief (Shannon.)
