Frontier Outlaws is a 1944 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield and shot at Corriganville Movie Ranch. [1] It was the second film in Producers Releasing Corporation's Billy the Kid film series where Crabbe was credited as "Billy Carson".
A gang of cattle rustlers and claim jumpers are terrorizing the town of Wolf Valley and hire a gunslinger to get rid of Billy Carson by running him out of town. To the villains' surprise, Billy arrives at a saloon frequented by them and runs the frightened gunslinger out of town. When the gunslinger tries to shoot Billy in the back with a concealed derringer, Billy finishes him off. Though Judge James Ryan is well aware of the true situation, he sentences Billy to 30 days in jail, but secretly lets Billy loose to finish off the villains. Billy disguises himself as a Mexican Charro interested in buying Barlow's rustled cattle in order to gain information and bring the outlaws to justice.
Meanwhile, the outlaws threaten the feisty owner of the Circle C Ranch, Ma Clark, who is not easily pushed around and has her sights set on marrying Judge Ryan.
