Treasury agent Steve Waring (Charles Starrett) is looking to recover $100,000 hidden by deceased outlaw Lucky Thorpe (Al Bridge). Thorpe’s daughter (Virginia Hunter) is likewise hoping to find the money and return it, while Thorpe’s second wife, conniving Clara Brent (Mary Newton), seeks to recover the loot for herself. Fortunately, Steve’s alter ego, the Durango Kid, is also on hand to foil the criminal plotting. Smiley Burnette provides comic and musical support, aided by the Cass County Boys, in this series entry that makes good use of footage from previous films.

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

Movie 262 for 2021.
