William Castle tackles the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid legend in another of his many pre-horror westerns. Scott Brady is the strong, silent Billy the Kid, nice guy turned reluctant outlaw after seeing a friend murdered by a crooked sheriff and his posse. The governor steps in and hires Pat Garrett as the new sheriff, pitting him against his old buddy Billy. There is the usual romantic subplot with Betta St. John and the inevitable shoot-out finale, this time in an old shack in the woods.
