Lyle Wheeler (Marjoe Gortner) lives on the edge -- the edge of danger and the edge of the law. He has a fast draw, a big heart and troubles as large as the whole New Mexico desert. When his car breaks after a rodeo competition, he steals another one and races right into the life of Bobbie Jo Baker (Lynda Carter), a hash-slinging beauty with a face like an angel and a voice like a country-western superstar.
She's never met anyone like Lyle...and neither has her sister, Pearl (Merrie Lynn Ross). Soon, Pearl's con-man boyfriend, Slick, involves Lyle in a bungled hold-up; and before they know it, the whole gang is wanted by every Sheriff west of the Mississippi. The stage is set for a slam-bang tour through the Southwest in this fast-paced tale of life -- and love -- on the edge.
Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) appears with Marjo Gortner in this Bonnie and Clyde inspired romp. Stills from Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw have been featured 'round the world featuring Lynda Carter topless. Available now on VHS.
Competent but excessively violent drive-in fare; bored carhop Carter hooks up with Marjoe and his gang for a robbing and killing spree.
A Mark L. Lester film, starring Marjoe Gortner, Lynda Carter, Merrie Lynn Ross, Gerrit Graham, Jesse Vint, Belinda Balaski, Gene Drew
