Billy the Kid's Range War is a 1941 American western film directed by Sam Newfield that was the fourth of Producers Releasing Corporation's Billy the Kid film series. Despite the film's title and mention of Lincoln County, there is neither a range war nor a range seen in the film.
This film is the fourth in the "Billy the Kid" film series, produced by PRC from 1940 to 1946.
Once again, Billy the Kid is pursued by the law for crimes he hasn't committed. With the help of a sympathetic marshal and Mexican range detective, Billy and his cantankerous slingshot-wielding sidekick, Fuzzy, get the chance to clear Billy's name by helping Ellen Gorman, the owner of a stagecoach line menaced by villains backed by a corrupt sheriff.
