Billy the Kid Wanted is a 1941 American film directed by Sam Newfield. The film stars Buster Crabbe in the first of his appearances as Billy the Kid; replacing Bob Steele in the PRC film series.

Billy the Kid (Buster Crabbe) and his pal Jeff (Dave O'Brien) help their friend Fuzzy Jones (Al St. John) escape from jail, and the trio heads for Paradise Valley, where they find the Paradise Land Development Company, ran by Matt Brawley (Glenn Strange) and Jack Saunders (Charles King), is somewhat less than honest in their dealings with the homesteaders. They devise a plan to cause a split between Brawley and Saunders.

Plot summary

Tired of always running from the law, Fuzzy leaves his pals Billy and Jeff and heads to Paradise Valley to be a homesteader. However when he finds himself in trouble, he sends for them. Angry at Fuzzy for abandoning them, Billy and Jeff decide to put on the ruse of helping Fuzzy while actually going behind his back to extract their vengeance. They take out an insurance policy on Fuzzy through a shifty Jewish banker named Ishmael. They find the source of Fuzzys trouble, Matt Brawley, who controls the town and is running a land swindle.

When an outlaw gang led by Jack Saunders arrives and threatens the pairs insurance fraud scheme, Billy has a plan to take them out of the picture, while also making it look like an "accident." Brawley and his men fall victim to hyperhidrosis and die painfully.
