Classic Westerns: Buster Crabbe Four Feature

MOVIE DESCRIPTION:

Olympic swimming champion Buster Crabbe was one of the most talented B movie actors, and his engaging personality was often responsible for the successes of a great many Western thrillers of the thirties and forties, as well as for his famous Flash Gordon character. Billy the Kid returns to the screen to fight for law and order in FUGITIVE OF THE PLAINS (1943), as he infiltrates an outlaw gang in order to clear his name of a crime. WILD HORSE PHANTOM (1944), Billy and Fuzzy trail a gang of outlaws to an old mine, but it seems that the robbers are unable to remember where they hid the stolen money. In WESTERN CYCLONE (1943), Billy the Kid (Buster Crabbe) has been framed for murder by an outlaw gang. In SHERIFF OF SAGE VALLEY (1942), Buster Crabbe gets to play dual roles, that of Billy the Kid and his own twin brother, Kansas Ed. Billy and his pals travel to Sage Valley where Billy is made Sheriff. Kansas Ed, who is a dead ringer, captures Billy and now plans to run the town as Sheriff.
