El forajido

Billy el Niño y Doc Holliday huyen del agente del orden, y anteriormente amigo, Pat Garret. Los forajidos llevan a la mestiza Río como compañera de viaje y chica de Bill. Pasan mucho tiempo peleando: cuando no es por los caballos, es por Río. Billy consigue pasar mucho tiempo a solas con Río, pero son constantemente perseguidos por el Sheriff y sorprendidos por los indios.

La sensualidad y curvas de Russell calentaron las pantallas de medio mundo. Un western muy "atrevido" para la época.

Newly appointed sheriff Pat Garrett is pleased when his old friend Doc Holliday arrives in Lincoln, New Mexico on the stage. Doc is trailing his stolen horse, and it is discovered in the possession of Billy the Kid. In a surprising turnaround, Billy and Doc become friends. This causes the friendship between Doc and Pat to cool. The odd relationship between Doc and Billy grows stranger when Doc hides Billy at his girl, Rio's, place after Billy is shot. She falls for Billy, although he treats her very badly. Interaction between these four is played out against an Indian attack before a final showdown reduces the group's number.
