Reception
Like many American films of the time, 'The Mysterious Outlaw' was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required cuts of all details of the prisoner Buck Lessen escaping from jail, including the attack on the guard, changing clothes, and the outlaw jumping from the wall, and scenes of the outlaw forcing men to exchange clothes at point of gun, the outlaw stealing a horse, and the shooting of the outlaw.
