A notable early play from the pen of Dennis Potter, and transmitted as part of the BBC TV 'The Wednesday Play' series. 

Hywel Bennett plays a mentally disturbed Welsh teenager obsessed with Wild West films. His volatile temperament loses him the few people who might have been sympathetic, and helped him. Instead, he spirals down to inevitable destruction.
