The Suicide Squad—An Overlooked and Underrated "Sequel"
Since Season 2 of Peacemaker is currently airing, let’s revisit the movie that started it all.
The Terror of Tiny Town (1938)
In a wild west community populated entirely by residents with dwarfism, the Larson and Preston familes have been in a generations-long feud, recently strained by the actions of cattle rustler and overall devious criminal Bat Haines. Buck Larson, the hero of our tale, takes on Haines, and tries to win the heart of Nancy Preston while resolving the tensions between his and her families.
