Convicted murderer Bowie is as tough as the come. So tough, in fact, he's made a daring prison escape and has gone on the lam with two buddies. On a rampage across the country, this armed and dangerous trio is soon wanted for a series of violent bank robberies. But when they hole up in a rural farmhouse, Bowie falls for a young woman named Keechie. And as the law draws closer to their hideout, and chances for escape dwindle, Bowie's future with Keechie looks as doubtful as his surviving the impending blaze of gunfire!
