Mediocre Durango Kid outing has saloon owner Duke Catlett (Lane Chandler) plotting to push out the local cattlemen using large herds of sheep to overwhelm the grazing land. To that end, he also makes use of newly arrived Easterner Karen Kemp (Barbara Pepper) as a dupe to conceal his involvement; her brother, Rocky (Elvin Field), a wild kid back home in Louisville, soon ends up mixed up with the bad guys out west, too. Smiley Burnette and Ozie Waters and His Colorado Rangers are on hand to provide some musical interludes. The movie as a whole is rather plodding, though.

  Mildly recommended for completists. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 27 for 2021.
