The Mexican-American Lucky Johnny: Born in America was originally titled Dead Aim. Johnny (Glen Lee), an orphan, has been raised from infancy by an undertaker (James Westerfield). Though his foster dad would prefer that Johnny stay, the boy opts to keep company with a married woman (Venetia Vianello). What begins as a mild domestic drama winds up as a near-splatter flick. For the protection of the weak of stomach, Lucky Johnny has been rated R.
