Une aventure de Billy le Kid (1971)
Directed by Luc Moullet

Film Synopsis

Billy the Kid is a man on the run, having held up a stage coach and robbed its passengers of their valuable possessions.  Before he knows it, he has Doc Holiday and bounty hunters galore on his tail as he makes his escape across the desert.  In his flight, Billy encounters a distressed young woman and comes to her aid.  Introducing herself as Ann, the woman claims she has been left for dead after being attacked by a party of fierce Cherokee Indians.  Not sure whether he can trust her, Billy ties up the woman and drags him behind him.

Billy then falls down a hole and Ann repays his earlier kindness by rescuing him.  As they continue their seemingly endless trek across the desert, Billy begins to wonder why Ann is so keen to stay with him.  Can it be that she has fallen madly in love with him and cannot bear to be separated from him?  Poor Billy - the truth has eluded him completely.  Ann is in fact the widow of a man he has recently killed, and she is savouring the moment when she can take her revenge against the outlaw...
