- The third in the series of six PRC westerns starring Bob Steele as Billy the Kid (<a href=">Bob Steele, finds Billy and his pals, Jeff Blanchard (<a href=">Carleton Young) and Fuzzy Jones (<a href=">Al St. John) ambushed in a cabin and, as they are making their getaway, Jeff is wounded. They go to Little Bend Valley where Jim Blanchard, Jeff's uncle, has a ranch. On their way, there see Ed Baker (<a href=">Charles King0 and Buck Mason (<a href=">Rex Lease) stop the wagon driven by Ann Roberts (<a href=">Louise Currie). Billy stops the two henchmen from throwing the supplies from the wagon. Ann tells Billy that she and her father, Tom Roberts (<a href=">Forrest Taylor), have bought a ranch but that someone is trying to run them out of the valley. They ride with Ann and Jeff is surprised to see that the Roberts' are living on what was formerly his uncle's ranch. The Roberts had only been there a short time, had never met Jim Blanchard, and after buying the ranch from Cobb Allen (<a href=">Al Ferguson) learned they had no water rights. Billy also learns that other ranchers such as Dave Barlow (<a href=">Edward Peil Sr.) had also bought ranches from Cobb, but that Cobb had diverted the stream that ran through the ranches and was now trying to force them to buy water from him. Billy and Jeff go to the barricade Cobb has around the water and after a fight with Allen-henchmen Bragg (<a href=">Kenne Duncan), Mason and Baker, the water is turned back into its original channel.
- Escaping from the law once again, Billy, Fuzzy, and Jeff ride to the ranch of Jeff's uncle only to find another family living their. They soon learn of Cobb Allen's scheme where he sells a ranch, makes sure the rancher can't pay off his note, kicks him out, and resells the ranch. But Billy has a plan to recover the ranchers' money and he sends Fuzzy to town with a fake map to a gold treasure.
- "Billy the Kid's Gun Justice" sure surprised me. I was set to hate the film but ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Why was I so prepared to dislike the film? Well, it was made by PRC--a tiny production company known for making crappy films. Additionally, I HATE films that idolize western villains like Billy the Kid, Jesse James and the rest. These films completely fictionalize these real life killers--making them heroes! It's all complete bull! But, oddly, the film manages to overcome all this because the plot was clever...and that's something you usually don't see in B-westerns.<br/><br/>Billy and his friends, Jeff (Carleton Young) and Fuzzy (Al St. John) are headed to the ranch owned by Jeff's uncle. However, when they arrive they find a nice family is living there and they've never heard of the uncle. They insist that they were sold the property by a scum-bag named Allen (Al Ferguson). And, it turns out Allen has been cheating all the local homesteaders by selling them property he doesn't even own and then denying them water rights! So, it's up to our trio of heroes to save the day. None of this is unusual for a B and the plot is pretty familiar. However, HOW they resolve all this is what makes the film so interesting. It is NOT settled with guns but with brains--imagine that!<br/><br/>Overall, it's well made and worth seeing just to see Fuzzy's cool drunk scene. Well worth your time and like most of Bob Steele's westerns, full of fist fights!
- Well even if you enjoy watching the B Western output of the Thirties and Forties, you have to admit that the believability factor for this one is set undeniably low. Not only does Billy the Kid (Bob Steele) retrieve the money spent by local ranchers to buy their land without secure water rights, but he does it by convincing the bad guys to fork over twenty five grand for a phony stash of gold. Did you ever see the main villain in one of these oaters willingly give up that much money? They would usually make some sort of bargain like that and then just kill the unsuspecting rancher they just dealt with, stealing the money back in the process. This guy Cobb Allen (Al Ferguson) sure wasn't thinking straight.<br/><br/>Bob Steele teamed with Fuzzy St. John in a half dozen of these Billy the Kid tales made by Producers Releasing in 1940/41. Steele's Billy was noticeably older than his historical counterpart, and he portrayed him as a hero who was framed by circumstances to look like a villain. In fact, this picture offered a five thousand dollar reward poster for Billy, but unless I missed it, I don't think it was ever mentioned why he was wanted.<br/><br/>Probably the best sequence in the story doesn't even involve Billy at all. It's when Fuzzy heads into the local saloon and puts on a drunk routine to lay out the phony gold story. Cobb Allen's henchmen (Charles King and Kenne Duncan) are taken in, and they figure they'd like to go it alone, so that adds another layer of incredibility to the story, as they wind up bidding against their own boss for the right to buy out the former Blanchard, now Roberts spread. In the middle is Billy, raising the stakes even higher.<br/><br/>I can't say there was a whole lot of action to this one, just some of your standard horse chases and that's about it. The gunfights didn't amount to much and the finale wrapped things up just a bit too quickly, so if you tune in, don't blink. But at least it was another successful outing for Billy and Fuzzy, who wind up heading off into the sunset for their next adventure.
