Suggested by phoenix88
The fourth chapter of Ollyverse is a seemingly standalone Western show, happening in the early 1890s. In the first season, Mesa Valley, a small mining town positioned between a desert and the sea, is shook from its usual routine with the appearance of Ebenezer Crest, a rich, self-proclaimed visionary, who desires to "modernize" the town. This puts him at odds with Elena, the town's no-nonsense sheriff, who is appalled by Ebenezer's disregard for the opinions of the townspeople. Meanwhile, a gaggle of bandits, led by the volatile Janet, starts terrorizing the town, while Elena's deputy Belle, and her father Django, start suspecting Ebenezer might be involved with them. As their conflict develops, Ebenezer and Elena start falling for each other, while Elena's rebellious brother Tuco ends up joining the bandits, causing even more turmoil in her life. Far from all of this, Joe, the town's drunk, sparks a friendship with a bizarre and creepy man, who seems to be missing his face.
