Rustlers' Hideout

Rustlers' Hideout is a 1944 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield. In 1940 Crabbe had followed and replaced Bob Steele in the role of Billy the Kid in a series of B-Westerns. After 19 films as Billy, the character was renamed Billy Carson with seemingly no other changes to the series. He even kept his sidekick (Al St. John) from the "Kid" films. This was the 14th of the Carson series out of a total of 23 (1940-1946).
