SONNY AND JED

Tomas Milian plays Jed, a bandit who rides into town one day to trade a piglet for a cow. But he spots an expensive cigar on the ground outside the barn, a tip-off that an ambush might be waiting. Sure enough, a longtime nemesis named Franciscus is about to spring a trap. Jed flees and gets a helping hand from a young girl named Sonny. She hides him in a coffin in the back of her buckboard and smuggles him out of town. But this isn’t any ordinary young woman. Sonny wants $100 for her trouble. She plans to buy a gun and become an outlaw just like Jed. In fact, she’d love to tag along with him for a while to learn the trade. He takes her up on her offer, having her play dead to stop a stage they intend to rob. But when she can’t stand the idea of shooting the passengers, Jed abandons her. Sonny’s facing a long stint in prison when she lands in the hands of Franciscus, partly because she refuses to tell him where to find Jed. Jed comes to the rescue of course, and the two begin a successful string of holdups. Along the way, Sonny falls for the rascal. But Franciscus is still on their trail.
