A classic Western revenge tale centered on a reformed outlaw torn between loyalty to a fallen friend and his bond with a lawman, exploring the tragic inevitability of frontier violence.
Billy "The Kid" Bonney is a hot-headed gunslinger who postpones his life of crime when he is befriended and hired by peaceful cattle rancher Eric Keating. When Keating is killed by a rival, Billy seeks revenge, even if it means opposing his old friend, Marshal Jim Sherwood.
