Billy the Kid Trapped - Buster Crabbe

1942 directed by Sam Newfield starring Buster Crabbe, Al St. John, Malcolm “Bud” McTaggart, Anne Jeffreys, Glenn Strange, Walter McGrail, Ted Adams, Jack Ingram and Milton Kibbee.

Imprisoned and sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit, Billy, (who, thanks to a bit of historical revision on the part of “Smallywood” is now good guy) and his side-kicks Fuzzy and Jeff break out of jail. The three escapees discover that there are three impersonators who dress as them committing the crimes. On their mission to clear their names and bring the seedy villains to justice, the trio discovers the town of Mesa Verde where outlaws are given sanctuary in exchange for paying for legal protection, much like in the Federal Govt. of the United States.
