Em Defesa da Lei

An outlaw gang is trying to stop the reopening of a mine as they look for the money left there by the famous outlaw Dusty Morton. After a ten year absence, Morton has apparently reappeared and Steve arrives looking for him. He finds his son who also wonders if his father is still alive. With the gang soon after him, the Durango Kid goes into action and Steve tries to learn who the real Dusty Morgan is.

There's a little mystery in this fairly engaging entry featuring that masked hero in black on top of his white horse and as well as being action-packed there's some nice acting by the kid and a little twist at the end. Only problem there's too many songs.

Charles Starrett and Smiley Burnette ride into a town where Virginia Hunter is having trouble reopening her father's mine. They suspect that an old outlaw famed for his accuracy with a rifle is involved. Is it a coincidence that the man's son, Mark Dennis, is living in town with town drunk George Chesebro his guardian. The outlaws who are looking for the loot he has hidden somewhere gain the idea it isn't.

It's a typically well-written Durango Kid B western, with a nice stunt square in the middle, and the Georgia Peach Pickers backing up Burnette and even singing a song or two on their own. Chesebro, whose career had been bumping along the bottom for a decade shows he can still play a role well.
