In 1930, Bonnie Parker, 19, was struggling into adulthood and through the Great Depression in Dallas, Texas. She was "married" to Roy Thornton, a convict serving 99 years for murder.

But Bonnie was a nymphomaniac, a "slut" by the morals of the day. (A "sexually active" woman for the politically correct crowd.)

When saxophone playing, bisexual, petty criminal Clyde Barrow (1909-1934) showed up, she moved in with him. When Clyde went to jail for robbery, she sneaked him a pistol and he made a break. After he was captured, he spent 20 months in prison.

Bonnie met thief and killer Ray Hamilton who satisfied her sexual appetite for a time.

Then, Clyde's darling, long-suffering mother of two criminal sons tearfully pleaded his case to the Governor and he was given another chance.

Clyde was pardoned and joined Bonnie and Ray. They became a threesome, in the bedroom as well as in crime. They committed a series of crimes together until Hamilton went his own way.

Bonnie and Clyde continued to commit robberies and murder. Bonnie had a pet rabbit she kept on her lap during their long drives eluding the authorities. When they "kidnapped" filling station attendant William Daniel Jones, he became their sexual submissive for 18 months.

Then, Clyde's brother Buck and his wife Blanche joined up with them. When the gang escaped from the Joplin, Missouri police ambush, Bonnie's poetry was found and published in the newspapers alongside photo snapshots also left behind. Bonnie resented everyone thinking she really smoked cigars. Before they released kidnapped lawmen Chief of Police Percy Boyd, "Tell the public, I don't smoke cigars. It's the bunk."

Buck was fatally wounded and Blanche was captured in Iowa.

Bonnie and Clyde continued robbing, killing, and running.
Jones left them.

Attempting to hook up with Hamilton's friend, former convict Henry Methvin, they fell into a final trap.

Methvin sold them out to Captain Frank Hamer of the Texas Highway Patrol, an ex-Texas Ranger who had been assigned specifically to the Parker-Barrow case.

The ambush was set up near Gibland, Louisiana. As the couple drove up to their rendezvous with Methvin, Hamer and five other lawmen, hiding behind some bushes, shot them to pieces and the pair died instantly.

Despite Bonnie's poem, they were not buried side by side.

No mention was ever made about what happened to the rabbit?
