The Calico Kid

Only two of the three rambunctious Texas Rangers are sent to Guarded Wells to stop the Ramirez Gang. After Peter Brown and William Smith shoot it out with the gang and kill several of them, the town is exceedingly grateful and take every and all opportunities to show it.

What's a Ranger to do but settle down and enjoy the town's hospitality. The two send all kinds of excuses to Philip Carey about how the job is only half finished. The infamous Calico Kid might still be around it is rumored. Of course they create the rumors.

George Chandler who owns the livery stable was the infamous Calico Kid who was active when the Rangers were kids. He's got a nice looking granddaughter in Mimsy Farmer who is keeping Brown and Smith interested in hanging around. The Kid might have to come out of retirement.

There's a couple of other citizens playing a most two faced game here as well.

It all works out in stumbling style of their's as we know it will.

Chad (Peter Brown) and Joe (William Smith) want a couple of days off to rest, but Parmalee (Philip Carey) sends the two Rangers out to stop the "Ramirez Gang" from terrorizing the nearby town of Guarded Wells. After killing off Ramirez, Chad and Joe are rewarded with liquor and women; of particular appeal, to Chad, is curvaceous blonde Mimsy Farmer (as Lorrie Thatcher). Ms. Farmer and grandfather George Chandler tell Chad about "The Calico Kid", a legendary outlaw. In order to stay in Guarded Wells, and continue soaking up local color, Chad informs Parmalee about the imaginary arrival of "The Calico Kid". Smelling a rat, Parmalee rounds up Reese (Neville Brand, in a noticeably lightened workload) to investigate...
