Pat Garrett is living
in Lincoln, New Mexico and he’s a newly appointed sheriff. He is glad to see his old friend Doc
Holliday arrive in town. Doc is
on the trail of his stolen horse.
Billy the Kid is in possession of the horse but he says he bought the
horse and he did not steal it. Surprisingly,
Doc and Billy become friends but this causes a cooling of the friendship between
Doc and Pat. Billy is shot in the leg and
Doc takes him to Rio’s place to recover.
Rio lives with Guadalupe and Rio is Doc’s girlfriend. Billy treats Rio badly but she begins
to like him.
There is not much of a plot in this film and
there just a few characters. The
acting is not very good, everyone seems wooden and the dialogue is bad. The horse is a better actor and the
favorite of everyone!! 2 1/2* (This movie is so-so)
