Billy (Buster Crabbe) and Fuzzy (Al St. John) try and help a brother and sister return to Laramie, which is now a ghost town. They are in possession of a map leading to a fortune in gold but the town sheriff (John Merton) has his eye on it. Billy and Fuzzy have to run the risk of being arrested by the marshals in order to help.
Billy (Buster Crabbe) and Fuzzy (Al St. John) must head back to Red Rock Valley in order to stop a greedy railroad detective (Frank Hagney) from auctioning off the town. This is one of the funnier ones in the series and, according to IMDb it's also the last. Of course IMDb also says there are only 19 in this series while the collection has 20 movies so
Fuzzy (Al St. John) buys a general store but finds that everyone in town has been buying on credit. He calls on his friend Billy (Buster Crabbe) in order to solve the dispute between the cattle ranchers and the farming homesteaders so he can get his money.
Ok, now what the fuck? Every other film in this whole stupid series has Billy and Fuzzy solving some stupid dispute between two groups that can't see that it's the shifty-looking bastard in town setting them up. Every time. But it's okay because it's like 1889 or whatever. Not Wild Horse Phantom. No shit, this time Billy (Buster Crabbe) and Fuzzy (Al St. John) are tracking a gang of escaped prisoners. In the 1920's. We're talking roadsters and tommy guns. And then, the gang inexplicably switches to horses and western wear in order to recover stolen bank money from a defunct mine. It makes no goddamn sense whatsoever.
