In the scorching hot wilderness carefreely straddling the border between Texas and Mexico, a survivalist bandit with retirement in sight makes a controversial living after his banishment.
Ostracized since the beautiful daughter of a wealthy landowner took his hand, he's forever chased by incessant honchos culturally obsessed with pleasing their lord.
An awkward innocent tragic fool finds himself alone and hunted one day, after he accidentally murders his brother-in-law and his immediate family totally freaks.
He's fortunate to meet Barbarosa who reluctantly takes him in, and shows him how to make an honest living when rudely cast out by kith and kin.
He's new to the hardboiled countryside and proceeds in error most of the time, Barbarosa arriving at opportune moments to offer benevolent aid to the clueless youngster.
Simultaneously, the lad refuses to offer his help when Barbarosa goes too far, presenting an idealistic foil to his age-old grumpy thieving shenanigans.
He slowly unravels Barbarosa's tale until sincere sympathy sedulously emerges.
As they forge a legendary team.
Boldly traversing the unsung badlands.
*Would Barbarosa's marriage have been more successful if he had asked his wife's father for permission beforehand, dad?
**Well, here it's one of those old school situations where her father may have never allowed her to marry anyone, let alone Barbarosa, like in Scarface, so if they wanted to be together, they had to go it alone.
*Awkward, I'd say.
**Yes son, no doubt.
*I guess he had to shoot his father--in-law's leg off after he had his ears cut off, but didn't that just make a haunting situation even more menacing?
**There's really no solution to problems like these son, all the individuals involved are much too stubborn.
*Like when the kid falls for Barbarosa's daughter?
**That's right son, very observant.
*I guess everyone just kind of marries whomever these days, eh dad?
**Yes son, our communities have become quite diverse.
*I'm a huge fan of variability.
**That's good to hear son, so am I.
