During the summer of 1881 in a small New Mexican village, Garrett shot and killed the notorious outlaw, William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid.

"Catherine, Billy the Kid was left parentless and turned to a life of crime as early as age thirteen.

Billy the Kid was then hunted down by Pat Garrett and is believed by many to have been shot on July 14, 1881. To confuse matters, numerous Billy the Kid sightings were made in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado after this date- leading many to question the validity of The Kid's death."

The final shot shows Billy pointing his gun at an off screen target, saying to the target ""I'll make you famous"".
