Billy Yeager learned about the Florida Highwaymen when he saw a painting by them in an antique store 3 years before they became well known.
Billy Yeager became close friends with Livingston Roberts by bringing his guitar to play music for "Castro" while they painted together. Billy was not only interested in filming a documentary, but he also wanted to learn how to paint.
Billy Yeager is the only outsider and white person that has ever been accepted into the small group of Highwaymen that painted in Castro's backyard.
Billy Yeager and Livingston Roberts painted a painting together. Yeager began painting seriously after completing the film. His paintings were used for the covers of his CDs which have become collectible.
Billy discovered the artist Jimmy Stovall who was not included in the first original Florida Highwaymen book, yet he is recognized by all the other artists as being one of the original Florida Highwaymen.
After 25 years of being separated, Jimmy Stovall and Livingston Roberts are reunited together in the film in Castro's backyard.
Yeager was responsible and is credited as being the one who brought attention to the forgeries and "Fake Highwaymen Paintings" being sold on eBay.
