Heflin needs $200 to build a well, then learns he can obtain the money as a reward for delivering Glenn Ford, a notorious outlaw now in the hands of the law, to the state prison in Yuma, Arizona. Though this will put Heflin in great personal danger, the peaceful man accepts the assignment, knowing what the money will mean to his family. Heflin and Ford hole up in a small hotel in another town while waiting for the train to Yuma. The outlaw begins toying with Heflin’s mind, talking in a friendly manner about Heflin’s job and financial situation.

Shortly after Michael J. Pollard exploded onto the scene in his Academy Award -nominated role in Bonnie and Clyde, the actor took on another folk hero and renegade, Billy the Kid, in his own inimitable style. Recounting Billy’s formative years, this depiction of “The Kid” is stripped of the glamour and romance of legend. A stunning performance in a film that deserves to be rediscovered, directed by Stan Dragoti with support from Gary Busey, Richard Evans, and Lee Purcell.
