Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here

The film "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here" (1969) is based on the true story of a Chemehuevi-Paiute Native American named Willie Boy, who kills a man in self-defense and escapes into the desert wilderness with an Indian woman named Lola. A posse led by Deputy Sheriff Christopher Cooper pursues them through the desert, but Willie manages to outsmart Cooper at Ruby Mountain, leading to a tense chase that ends in Cooper's victory. The film's climax shows Cooper delivering Willie's body to his tribe, where it is burned, and Cooper remarks "Tell them we're all out of souvenirs."
