Act I
At Bonnie Parker's wedding to Ray Thorton, uninvited guests Clyde and Buck Barrow catch Bonnie's eye for the first time. Ray gets arrested, leaving Bonnie to return to her mother's home. Clyde asks Bonnie out, leading to a romantic evening interrupted by a police raid. After Clyde's escape from prison with Bonnie's help, they share a passionate dance before Clyde's return to crime, landing him back in prison.
Act II
Clyde breaks out of prison with W.D. Jones, convincing Buck and his wife Blanche to join their crime spree. As the Barrow Gang robs banks and evades the law, a security guard is accidentally killed, escalating the stakes. A picnic ambush leads to a shootout, resulting in Buck's death and W.D. Jones's capture. Bonnie and Clyde become fugitives, reflecting on their choices before driving towards their uncertain fate.
