Bullets for Bandits is a 1942 American Western film directed by Wallace W. Fox, starring Wild Bill Elliott, Tex Ritter, and Frank Mitchell.
It is the tenth in Columbia Pictures' series of 12 "Wild Bill Hickok" films, followed by The Devil's Trail.
Cannonball explains to Tex that Prince has the letters "KT" on his forearm, where they had been branded when he was a youth by a man named Clem Jeter.
Understanding Queen's predicament, he agrees to accompany Cannonball to the ranch, playing along with the mistaken identity.
With what he feels his final roadblock taken care of, Jeter rides off and gets a court order appointing him as Queen's guardian.
As he is having dinner with the Browns, Jeter arrives and tells Tex that the man who killed Prince is posing as him at the Katey ranch.
The Film Bulletin gave the picture a lukewarm review, calling it an "average Bill Elliott western".
They also enjoyed the work of Frank Mitchell, and felt the film had good action sequences, but opined that the romance in the picture fell flat.
