The latest idea to extract secrets from Number 6 has a wild-western setting.
Number 6 is dumped in a small town named 'Harmony'. One of the
locals, 'Mexican Sam' directs him to the saloon where he
meets 'Kathy' and later, 'The Judge'
who seems to run the town with an iron hand.
The Judge wants Number 6 to take over the role of town Sheriff but he refuses and states he's moving on. As a result he is forced into a situation in which he's put in jail under protective custody. Kathy's brother (a previous inmate) is hanged as a grim warning.
Kathy helps Number 6 to escape but he's caught and dragged back. She is found guilty of aiding a criminal and put in jail with a psychopath called 'The Kid' as her jailer.
Number 6, having previously
had a run-in with The Kid earlier, finds that another confrontation
with this unstable character is bound to occur again soon. Kathy is
released as Number 6 decides to take on the role of Sheriff, but he
won't carry a gun. He plans to escape with Kathy but she is murdered
by The Kid before this can happen.
Number 6 kills The Kid after a shoot-out, during a gunfight with the Judge and his men Number 6 appears to be shot, but nothing is all that it seems in Harmony..............
