In the late 1890s Wyoming, Butch Cassidy, the affable, clever, talkative leader of the Hole in the Wall Gang, and his closest companion, the laconic dead-shot Sundance Kid, return to the gang's hideout in Hole-in-the-Wall to discover that the rest of the gang, irked at Butch's long absences, has selected a new leader, Harvey Logan (Ted Cassidy), who challenges Butch to a knife fight over the gang's leadership. Using trickery, Butch defeats the much larger Logan, but embraces Logan's idea to rob the Union Pacific Flyer coming and going, agreeing that the second robbery would be unexpected and likely to involve even more money than the first. The first robbery goes well. To celebrate, Butch and the Kid visit a favorite brothel in a nearby town and watch amused as the town sheriff (Kenneth Mars) attempts to organize a posse to track down the gang. Sundance then leaves to visit his lover, the schoolteacher Etta Place (Katharine Ross). The next morning, Butch arrives on a bicycle, and takes Etta for a ride.

Later, the second train robbery goes wrong when Butch uses too much dynamite to blow the safe, scattering the money everywhere. As the gang members scramble to gather up the money, a second train arrives carrying a six-man team that has been specially outfitted by Union Pacific head E. H. Harriman to hunt Butch and Sundance. The robbers flee in multiple directions, but the posse only follows Butch and Sundance, who elude their pursuers and return to the brothel to hide out. When the posse appears in town, Butch and Sundance are betrayed but escape on horseback. They then try to arrange an amnesty with the help of the friendly Sheriff Bledsoe (Jeff Corey), but he tells them candidly that it is too late—their criminal lifestyle can only lead them to being hunted down and killed.
