Cattle baron William Donovan prepares to use violence to drive off settlers in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The new arrivals find an ally in young gunman Billy the Kid, who shoots one of Donovan’s gang. The settlers’ leader is on his way to marry his fiancée Claire, who has just arrived from the East, when he is murdered by Donovan’s henchmen. Billy swears vengeance on the entire gang. Neither Claire nor sheriff Pat Garrett, who both secretly approve of Billy’s plan, can stave off a bloody feud, which costs 28 men their lives. “You’ve made life here liveable”, Claire says to Billy after the gun battle. (Berlinale)

Considering that it's a film from the early days of the sound era, it's not bad at all in that regard, and it's quite enjoyable to watch. Well, King Vidor was indeed a talented director and knew how to make movies, and that certainly applies to the western genre as well. Billy the Kid doesn't stand out significantly in the genre, but it's well crafted.
