Buford Pusser (1937-1974) was a real-life sheriff in a small Tennessee burg who fought corruption with an almost monomaniacal zeal.
Pusser was not a subtle man. After retiring from his wrestling career, Pusser returned to his hometown to settle down with his wife and family, and catch up with old friends. One of those friends took him to a seedy bar on the edge of town, where he got into a fight after catching the owner cheating at the craps table. He got the worst of the scuffle and was dumped on the side of road, bleeding and unconscious. The corrupt sheriff didn't do anything and so once he recovered, Pusser returned to the club to extract justice using a large piece of wood, which he used to beat the crap out of everyone involved. That got him arrested for assault, although after representing himself in court, he was acquitted and decided to run for sheriff and clean up the town ? using a big stick. And that is the basic premise for all three movies in the Walking Tall Trilogy. He fights against corruption using unorthodox methods and comes to blows with the criminal element in the county who are running successful brothels and bootlegging stills. Pusser gets results, but at a high cost ? the bad guys come at him repeatedly, trying to assassinate him and killing his wife in the process. Yet he keeps going and becomes a legendary figure along the way.
