Bonnie's Kids is a 1972 American neo-noir thriller film written and directed by Arthur Marks.

Plot

Myra and Ellie Thomas, sisters residing in Glendora, California, find themselves entangled with their abusive stepfather, Charley, who was once married to their now-deceased mother, Bonnie. When Charley attempts to rape the younger Myra, Ellie intervenes, shooting him with a shotgun. Instead of reporting the incident to the authorities, the sisters decide to escape to Los Angeles, seeking refuge with their only known relative, a wealthy uncle named Ben Siemen.
Unbeknownst to Ellie, her uncle quickly involves her in a money-laundering operation. However, upon discovering the illicit scheme, Ellie double-crosses her uncle and escapes with the money. She then instructs Myra to rendezvous with her in El Paso, Texas, as they plan to flee the country. A series of unfortunate deaths follows as the uncle and his hired hitmen relentlessly pursue the sisters to recover the stolen funds.
