synopsis
"Billy the Kid" is the derisive nickname given to William Benton (Andrew Barton) the son of a famous American general. Though he has absolutely no combat experience, Benton is promoted to artillery lieutenant and assigned to lead Saunders' squad on a mission to destroy a vital section of the German railway. Determined to prove himself worthy of the assignment, "Billy the Kid" adopts a pose of reckless bravado that may well cost Saunders (Vic Morrow) his life.
