The Last Holdouts centers around the relationship between Kio Johns and Billy “Wild Billy” Hardcastle, two holdovers from the “Big Studio” era that made classic Western movies. Billy is making one last Western movie and recruits Kio – a former war hero, current tribal leader as well as a respected actor – to play the Indian chief as he’s done in many other Wild Billy movies in the past. But this is the late 60s and Billy is up against changing times. Kio’s daughter, Irene and her friends represent those changing times. Margaret, Kio’s wife is there as the rock of the family and to remind him of his worth beyond those of his portrayals in Wild Billy’s movies, almost cartoonish in retrospect.
