Storyline
| Plot Summary |
1878 in New Mexico: John Tunstall picks up young gun men from the road to have them work on his ranch, but also to teach them reading and to civilize them. However he's a thorn in the side of the rich rancher Murphy, as he's a competitor in selling cattle. One day he's shot by Murphy's men. Judge Wilson can't do anything, since Sheriff Brady is one of Murphy's men. But attorney Alex persuades him to constitute Tunstall's young friends to Deputies and give them warrants of arrest for the murderers. Instead of arresting them, William Bonney just shoots them down. Soon the 5 guys become famous and William gets the name "Billy the Kid" - but they're also chased by dozens of Murphy's men and the army. The people however honor him as fighter for justice.

| Quotes |
[Steve is laughing at Bonney at the dinner table]
John Tunstall: What do you find funny, Steven? That's no proper table manners. Charley Bowdre: He's got a way with hogs. John Tunstall: Congratulations, Charles. You and Steven will be doing the dirty crockery alone this evening. Charley Bowdre: Sorry, John. It just struck me funny. John Tunstall: And to William, both of you. Charley Bowdre: Apologies, Billy. We was just hacking on you. "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Yeah, we was just hacking on you. Richard Brewer: Rumor has it you killed a man, Billy. You don't seem like the killing sort. "Dirty Steve" Stephens: Yeah, Billy. What'd you kill him for? William H. Bonney: He was hacking on me. See more » |
