He imports a gang of scabs and arms 20 deputized thugs with machine guns to protect them. Ruth's crowd also has machine guns and the streets are just about ready to run with his fellow citizens blood when Druggist Cogswell gets himself appointed sheriff and tries to substitute for the Fascist way or the Communist way the American way out of the local dilemma.
