Dirty Little Billy

Billy, who is portrayed by Michael J. Pollard in smiling, almost witless fashion, revolts against the hard farm life forced on him by his stepfather. Thereafter he's befriended by the town badman, Richard Evans. Lee Purcell, as Evans's prostitute girlfriend, initiates Billy into one aspect of manhood. Eventually, Coffeyville's puritanical element, led by Charles Aidman — who, for unexplained reasons, is dallying with Billy's mother—drives Billy and his pal out of town after gunning down the hapless Miss Purcell.
