29 January 2010
Doug and Tony are transported to Pride of Lincoln County, New Mexico, in April 1881, in the middle of a shootout. They run to the sheriff's office and find that Billy the Kid is in jail and the gunners that are shooting belong to his gang. The outlaws break in the jail to release Billy the Kid that shoots the sheriff in cold blood, but out of the blue, Doug shoots Billy to save Tony and he dominates the situation. They escape but the buckle on belt has saved Billy's life and he promises to hunt down and kill Doug alone. However, Tony and Doug subdue Billy in an abandoned ranch; then Tony heads back to Lincoln to bring Pat Garrett, but he is mistaken as Billy the Kid by the Pat's deputy. The population decides to hang Tony, and when Pat Garrett arrives, he asks his deputy to provoke a stampede to save Tony. Meanwhile Billy's gang comes to the ranch and releases Billy the Kid.

"Billy the Kid" is a good episode of "The Time Tunnel". Robert Colbert has one of his best performances in this series, and Doug seems to be a real cowboy. Tony has an unreasonable behavior when he arrives in Pride of Lincoln County alone trying to find Pat Garrett. The edition of the excerpts from stock footages is very well done in this episode. My vote is seven.
