Mascarado da Justiça

Gold has been discovered in the Sioux' sacred Black Hills, and prospectors are pouring in, in defiance of treaties. Indian agent Charles Starrett.... what's that? He's gotten a newspaper from Bonanza City claiming his outlaw alter ego, the Durango Kid has been robbing gold shipments? That's far more important than what will develop into Little Big Horn, so he and inept magician Smiley Burnette mount their horses and head to Bonanza City. There, crooked mining machinery salesman Norman Willis and outlaw leader Bud Geary have secretly combined to steal all the gold shipments and foreclose on the mines, if they can keep from double-crossing each other.

Despite the rocky start, there are some nice plot points in this B western written by Ed Earl Repp. Hank Penny & His Plantation Boys play a couple of rounds and back up Burnette's comic songs, and things will settle out well, without anyone suspecting Starrett is also the Durango Kid, or wondering where he keeps that second horse.

Dakota Indian Agent Steve Reynolds receives a copy of the Bonanza City Nuggett from Jim Mallory and reads a story blaming the Durango Kid for recent gold mine raids. Steve, also the Durango Kid, and his pal Smiley head for Bonanza City to contact Mallory and Rance Hudson, his partner in the mining machinery business. Mallory sells his interest in the business to Hudson for $50,000 and heads for California. Seeing him off are Hudson's secretary Anne Parker, her father Sam Parker, owner of the Gold Moon Mine and his miners Hank Penny and the Plantation Boys (Harold Hensley, Noel Boggs, Sanford Williams and Fenton Reynolds). Hudson plans to rob the wagon train and blame the Durango Kid, and sends Curlew and his henchmen to do the job

A rather average episode but it has a lot of action,some drawn out. Gunsmoke Havana. Smiley does his usual silly stuff and the Durango kid fires never ending bullets in style.
