    Average yet watchable

    The cattle herds of some Arizona ranchers are being stampeded and stolen, so the Arizona Stockmen's Syndicate sends ace investigator Steve Reynolds in to find out who is responsible. Steve poses as a vicious gunslinger named Buck McCloud to work his way into the gang, and then becomes the Durango Kid to disrupt the activities he learns about. Jud Temple is the loyal fiancée of town banker Grat Hanlon who turns out to be the brain-trust behind the gang.

    An average entry yet watchable. To be honest, most of Durango Kid films I've seen are very enjoyable and they vary in quality. Smiley Burnette sings three songs, and sometimes he can distract from the plot, but overall Smiley is great fun. The action - and the stunts - are top notch. The wild stampede at the end is impressive.
