FUGITIVE FROM SONORA (1943 Republic) PHANTOM COWBOY (1935 Aywon) FLAME OF THE WEST (1945 Monogram) 40 GUNS TO APACHE PASS (1967 Columbia) BILLY THE KIDS SMOKING GUNS (1942 PRC) The last film in Sig and Sam Newfields Bob Steele/Buster Crabbe series to use "Billy the Kid" in the actual title. Saving youngster Joel Newfield (most likely the son - or grandson - of either producer Sig or director Sam) after his father is killed by outlaws, Billy the Kid (Buster Crabbe) and his pals (Dave OBrien, Fuzzy St. John) come to the rescue of Joels pretty widowed Mom, Joan Barclay, who is put upon by slippery doctor Milton Kibbee, Ranchers Cooperative President John Merton, crooked Sheriff Ted Adams and their gunslingers Frank Ellis and Slim Whitaker. Theyve learned the government is about to buy up all the Valley at high prices to build a Cavalry post. A highlight of this otherwise mediocre entry is Fuzzys "escape" with a tall ladder.
