A battle over a land lease is at the center of this Durango Kid outing, as a conniving crook plots to use a forged lease to keep young Bronc Masters (Robert Scott, aka Mark Roberts), the rightful lessee, from rounding up horses for use by the Army. Luckily Steve Bolton, the agent of the Department of the Interior who leased the land to Bronc, is also the Durango Kid, and thus well able to foil the villain’s schemes. An OK but unmemorable entry in the long-running series.

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

Movie 166 for 2021.
