content
Billy the Kid (known from the album of the same name ) has to be escorted from his prison in Texas to a court in New Mexico and Lucky Luke is asked by the prison director to take over the task. After Billy made only hopeless escape attempts at the beginning, he soon got together with the criminal Bert Malloy in the village of Gun Gulch, to whom he promised a share of his non-existent booty. The two try to overpower Lucky Luke, which they fail again. In Bronco Pueblo (the place where the court is located), Lucky Luke locks Billy in jail, but Billy gets free and tries to kill Lucky Luke, which is prevented by Bert Malloy's mishap. At the trial, Billy the Kid is sentenced to a marginal fine for ignorantly parking his horse ( wrong parking ). Malloy takes over the payment and freaks out when he learns that the loot Billy said about doesn't exist. He is then sentenced to prison. He has no problems bringing the two back to prison because they now despise each other so much that they thwart each other's attempts to escape.
