Ray Navarro directs and Barry Shipman writes the screenplay for another Charles Starrett shoot 'em up. A very short movie running just a little over 50 minutes, but there is no time really wasted. The Texas Rangers and Mexican officials are stumped with the absence of Texas bad guys. Ranger Steve Carson(Starrett)comes up with a plan that has him faking a hold-up and murdering a Texas Ranger Captain(Fred Sears). Carson gets in with a gang secretly ran by Charles Burton(John Denher)and tries to get information about a criminal hideout from businessman B.F. Morgan(Clayton Moore). (Yes,of Lone Ranger fame). Morgan of course is in cahoots with Burton, who has a special way of disposing of outlaws.
Carson as expected has help from alter-ego The Durango Kid. There of course is Smiley Burnette to provide some comic relief and warble a few tunes. This outing he is more of an irritant than anything. Pretty good B Western. Neat watching Moore being a bad guy and without a mask. Smiley messes around with a couple of tunes like "When I Find Out What I Said" and "Half A Notion".
Other players include: Edmund Cobb, John Douchette, Ray Jones, Al Haskell, Ray Bennett and Jock Mahoney.
