As he is driving through the southwest, his car breaks down in a small, lawless town called Jacksonville, which has been literally taken over and is now controlled by the town bullies. Gonji befriends Roy Wittle (David Proval), the clerk at the motel where he is staying and, as a result of Roy's plight with the town bullies, Gonji accepts the job of town Marshal. Employing a charming mixture of southern awareness, Samurai wisdom and martial arts, the bullies are soon in check and the town begins to return to normal. Meanwhile Sledge (Ken Vanderlip), who is rotting away in prison for the murder of the former Marshal, learns of Gonji's regaining control of the town and decides to break out of jail to kill him. Sledge succeeds in his escape only to be cornered in a livery stable by Gonji, resulting in a duel-to-the-death fight. Written by backcover of Martial Marshal See less
