Family is at the center of this Durango Kid outing, as Sheriff Jeff Clinton (George Chesebro) and outlaw Black Murphy (Steve Darrell) are grandfathers to a young girl (Anita Castle) who plays an important part in the plot, both as welcome family and as target for a villain. Steve Rollins (Charles Starrett) initially is helping the sheriff to track down Murphy, but he comes to believe that the guilty party may be someone else and hitherto unsuspected. Can Steve, both as himself and in the guise of the Durango Kid, bring the real guilty party to justice? Smiley Burnette provides some comic relief and music to the action as well.

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

Movie 376 for 2021.
