Dead Outlaw tells the true story of Elmer McCurdy, an early 20th-century outlaw who became a traveling corpse and accidental celebrity. After he fails at a train robbery, resulting in his untimely death, McCurdy’s body goes on a decades-long postmortem journey through carnivals, roadside attractions, and even Hollywood film sets. Dead Outlaw dives into the absurdity of fame, the inevitability of failure, and the meaning – or utter meaninglessness – of legacy.
