Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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.

| Quotes |
Billy the Kid:
I think I'll have another drink of water. Doc Holliday: What are you talking about? You didn't have one in the first place. Billy the Kid: I know, but I had the same idea about an hour ago. Doc Holliday: It wouldn't do any good. Take my advice. Billy the Kid: What? Doc Holliday: Killing a woman. Billy the Kid: Why not? Doc Holliday: Because they're all alike. There isn't anything they wouldn't do for you... or to you. See more » |
