Two county office holders attempt to control his efforts, while another does everything possible to have him fired.Chet continues to juggle many responsibilities as a husband and father, on top of his job as a sheriff. He encounters an uprising outside his jail, a lynching, and continuous reports of moonshining that cause havoc in the county.If that was not enough, Chet soon discovers that someone in the community wants him dead, but the "who" and the "why" of these assassination attempts remain a mystery. Longtime friends soon learn of Chet's plight and do their best to aid him in handling his political foes as well as the mysterious person who wants to end Chet's new career with the help of a bullet.
