Mill Creek has released a set of 10 Durango Kid films, and many of them are fourth coming on this blog. I love these kinds of films.
Charles Starrett stars as Steve Reynolds who is also the Durango Kid. In this outing a prospector, Cimarron Dobbs (Emmett Lynn) finds a treasure that once belonged to Santa Anna's army. Dobbs is kidnapped by the owner of the local saloon and he and his henchmen try to make the old timer tell where the treasure is.
Saloon hostess Dixie King (Helen Mowery) summons Reynolds and soon the Durango Kid and his sidekick Smiley (Smiley Burnette) soon arrive in town. The saloon owner John Munro (Robert Filmer) tries in vain to make Cimarron talk.
Durango sets up a plan to rescue Cimarron and get the treasure and give it to needy ranchers in the area. These films ran about an hour or less, and they really move. Western fans shouldn't be disappointed with this or any other Durango Kid western.
The quality of this Columbia release is beautiful and I am very pleased this has been released on DVD. RECOMMENDED!!
