Dr. Sam Johnson
Background
Samuel "Sam" Johnson is the doctor for the town of Rock Ridge.
During the events of Blazing Saddles (1974) played by Richard Collier
Later at church after the attack on Rock Ridge, Rev. Johnson tells the townspeople they need to act. Gabby Johnson walks in front of the crowd and mumbles to everyone that no one is leaving. Olson Johnson gets up next and agrees with Gabby. He tells the crowd their forefathers came across the prairie to settle Rock Ridge and fought locusts and Dix and they shouldn't give up. Dr. Johnson stands up next and agrees with Olson and suggests they fight it out. Howard Johnson then stands up and agrees with Dr. Johnson and says he wont give up his ice cream parlor. Van stands up and agrees with Howard. Rev. Johnson tells the townspeople if they stay they will have to have a new sheriff. Howard suggests Governor Lepetomane be asked to send a sheriff so no local is killed and Van agrees with him. The town is preparing for the arrival of their new sheriff and Olson tells them a telegram has come that the sheriff will be there at noon. Gabby uses a spyglass to watch as Bart rides up and continuously tries to tell the town, the sheriff is black, but the townspeople can't hear him over the ringing of the town bell. As Bart rides into town the music stops and the townspeople stare at him in shock. Bart walks up to the stage and as he is reading the order making him sheriff, the townspeople point weapons at him. Rev. Johnson asks the people to not get upset, but tells Bart he is on his own when someone puts a bullet through his Bible. Bart pulls out his own pistol and takes himself hostage and threatens to shoot himself. Olson tells the townspeople to stay back. Harriett Johnson asks if anyone will help Bart, but Dr. Johnson shushes her. The Town Council comes together and Harriett reads out a letter to Governor Lepetomane about her feelings about Bart and demanding a new sheriff. Mongo rides into town on a zebu and starts terrorizing the town. Bart dresses as a delivery man and tells Mongo there is a candygram for him. The candygram explodes when Mongo opens it. Later, Bart and Jim ride back into town and Olson shows them the wanted ad looking for murderers. Bart asks the people to give him time to come up with an idea and they agree. At night, Bart tells the citizens of Rock Ridge that they will build a fake Rock Ridge and if they agree to give the railroad workers a plot of land they will help. The townspeople then reluctantly agree to the plan. A replica Rock Ridge is built, including replica townspeople. Taggart and his gang ride into Rock Ridge and Bart tries to blow the explosives they placed in the town, but it fails. Jim then shoots the explosive and the town explodes and bodies and horses go flying into the air. The citizens of Rock Ridge and Taggart's men get into a huge fight that spills into the studio lot where Buddy Bizarre is filming his musical French Mistake. When Taggart punches Buddy Bizarre in the stomach, a fight breaks out between the actors and actresses of Blazing Saddles and French Mistake. This fight then continues into the commissary and more people join the fight.
