Black is after both Taylor's saloon and the Lane ranch. Fuzzy takes the gold from his and Billy's mine and buys Taylor's saloon. This puts him and Billy in conflict with Black and his gang. You will not find not a hint of a modern 20th century gangster in this Billy the Kid western, but we see a guy like I. Stanford Jolley operate like a gangster with a bit of a Snidely Whiplash villain thrown in.<br/><br/>Jolley has two objectives to acquire that saloon from which he can operate with impunity bilking the locals, but he also wants to acquire Sydney Logan's ranch the object being Sydney, he's slowly acquiring her by extending lots of credit to her brother who is deep in debt. It's the ranch or her or maybe both.<br/><br/>Fuzzy St. John gets the saloon temporarily and the best scenes are him trying to run it and be his own best customer. Good thing Buster Crabbe was around to set things right.<br/><br/>Gangster's Den, an amusing item from the Billy The Kid series. There's no real fireworks in this episode of Producers Releasing Corporation's Billy Carson series, with yet another corrupt land hungry villain ready to take people's property by hook or by crook, this time using corrupt gamblers to wrack up debt amongst naive landowners before setting his sights on the local saloon that allegedly sits atop the opening of a gold mine.<br/><br/>Mostly forgettable, there's a few okay action scenes and an abundance of comedy relief by Al St. John as Fuzzy Jones, who acquires the afore mentioned saloon and it's cantankerous employee played by Emmett Lynn.<br/><br/>I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen the earlier better pictures in the series.
