*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In Western Cyclone, a gang leader and wannabe politician frames Billy the kid (again) for murder and uses Billy's friendship with the governor and a recent string of robberies as a pretense for impeachment and a special election which the villain hopes to garner enough votes to gain power.
This is as mediocre as it sounds, with less action than previous entries in Producers Releasing Corperation's Billy The Kid movies and a pretty dumb, far-fetched plot.
One particularly silly scene involves sidekick Fuzzy using tickle-torture on an alleged bad-guy detainee in order to find out the identity of the man who framed Billy. Was that legal?!
