The Preachers helps to mend his wounds and clean him up.

Well daddy's boy and Daniel Craig wind up in the jail together and then all hell brakes loose in the town. Space ships come out of know where and people get snapped up and disappear in a matter of minutes. The the "bad boys" become friends along with the strange woman and together they battle the "demons" from outer space! Wow! this is the first western vs science fiction I have ever seen! Not sure if I liked it, very action packed and way out there!
