The great town of Meadow Valley was once a peaceful place. Sheriff Brutus kept everything and everyone in order. That was until an outlaw caused great havoc. The outlaw killed the sheriff's wife and later murdered the sheriff in his own jail. Now, the town is forever haunted by the sheriff's angry spirit. The only way to rid the town of the sheriff's wrathful spirit is by entering his cursed jail, finding his cursed object, and setting his spirit free.
