Betsy Barnes was the only
child of silent screen cowboy and stuntman, Buckin' Billy Barnes and his wife
who died in childbirth. Buckin' Billy raised the girl on his own on his Double B
Ranch north of Hollywood. Billy adored his daughter and taught her pretty much
everything he knew. And for Billy, that meant riding, roping, shooting, and
stunt work. And without a strong female presence, Betsy never really learned how
to be a girl. Eventually, she followed in her dad's footsteps and became a
stuntwoman in Hollywood.
In 1930, Buckin' Billy Barnes
was murdered by his former friend and director, Cliff Conway, who framed Betsy
for the deed. Fortunately, Doc Justice and friends were in Hollywood at the time
to consult on a movie loosely inspired by one of Doc's Egyptian adventures.
Having befriended Betsy who was a stuntwoman on the movie, Doc and company
solved the mystery and cleared her name. Betsy decided to accompany the Friends
of Justice back to New York.
Betsy is good friends with
Veronica Justice, despite the two of them being almost complete opposites. With
Veronica's help, Betsy is becoming more feminine, although it can still be a
struggle to get her into a dress.
