Gangster's Den

Gangster's Den is a 1945 American Producers Releasing Corporation Western film of the "Billy the Kid" series directed by Sam Newfield. Fuzzy (Al St. John) is upset that the ranch hands spend their time and money at a saloon where they lose their money drinking and gambling. Fuzzy decides to buy the saloon to keep an eye on the men and moderate their vices, but a shifty lawyer has other ideas and plans to use murder to get his way. The film is unusual among the B Westerns due to the fact that not only is the comedy relief sidekick the main protagonist of the story, but the sidekick has two sidekicks of his own, a cook and a bodyguard.
