The Rough, Tough West

The Durango Kid arrives in a mining town in search of an old friend, only to find the man is now running the town and has become corrupt, which brings him to disguise himself as a masked stranger while exposing his old pal as the felon he is.

A better than average the Durango Kid entry boasts a good performance by Jock Mahoney as a power mad person - he plays him as a corrupt person but with some human feeling. He has a soft spot for a disabled boy, but he runs the town with an iron fist and has thugs that make things worse. There's plenty of action, the highlight being a blazing building and some nail biting situations. Smiley doesn't take over the film like he does in other entries.
