An escaped convict is ensnared in a plot by a corrupt Sheriff to kidnap the young heiress to an oil fortune, complicating his quest for freedom.

I'm intrigued by your title:

It's obviously related to the plot highlighted by this logline... and create the Mistery : it can be a lot of things, that or its opposite... Who is the Eel?

I think your logline is great. Brief but hits all key points and raises interest. Your strong logline does seem to call for a more intriguing title as there is no mention of judges there.

The title is possibly a little misleading - it just doesn't seem to match your genre to me, but I could be wrong here. 'Complicating' for me is too weak a word for a logline, makes it sound like a flimsy story. How about: 'jeopardising', or 'compromising'.
