Supposedly based on true facts, it presents the last days of Billy the Kid as told by Pat Garrett, the sheriff and friend who killed him. Don Barry, nearly 40, is much too old to play the 20 year old Billy. He looks kind of silly on his horse with a cigarette dangling out of his mouth. Billy is offered amnesty by the governor of New Mexico but turns him down. Pat leads the posse that eventually finds him. Supporting roles by Wally Vernon as his comedic sidekick and the lovely and unknown Wendie Lee as his girlfriend liven things up.
