Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland star in this fanciful Western romance about a bank robber whose brief liaison with a beautiful widow leads to his romanticized and posthumous reputation as an outlaw legend even though he's not dead. When Graham Dorsey (Bronson) is supposedly killed after a heist, Amanda Starbuck (Ireland) embellishes her afternoon affair with him, creating a popular dime novel and novelty business -- until Dorsey returns.
