ln TV's pioneer days when kids idoIized the Lone Ranger, the Texas Kid was a knight errant of the frontier Ieading the fight for law and order alongside his Mexican companion Pepe. ln this rarely-seen TV pilot, the Kid and Pepe intercede on behalf of the murdered rancher's daughter, openly defying the Iandgrabbers in a cow town so lawIess that rustlers operate in broad daylight!
Shot at the Corrigan Ranch in 1950, TEXAS KlD co-starred Mercury Records recording artist John Laurenz as Pepe and stuntman Hugh Hooker as the Kid. Hooker, a specialist in stunts invoIving horses and stagecoaches, often doubIed Gene Autry and even produced a few movies, incIuding the low-budget gem . That movie's star was Hugh's teenage son Buddy Joe Hooker, whose own subsequent, stellar stunt career inspired HOOPER (1978), Burt Reynolds' hit comedy tribute to movie stuntmen. -- Tom Weaver
