Neither is to shoot to kill. Since he killed a baby chick with a gun when he was a. small boy he has bsen obsessed with a horror of killing any living thing.

In the excitement of a job that doesn't corrje off too well, the girl shoots and kills two people. From their first holdup, the big chase is on. Cops after them in every state in which they operate. By various means of trickery, they manage to elude the police until there seems to be no place to go but to his sister's home. This move is their undoing.

Lately there have been a number of these pictures about young couples that go in for this type erime. "Gun Crazy" is slightly different in introduction but after the story gets under way, the action is the same. The chase by the cops, one more job by the youthful bandits before they beat it to Mexico to live a peaceful life. And it is always this last job that is fatal. Joseph H.
