Charles Starrett vehicle directed by Derwin Abrahams; the Ed Earl Repp screenplay is pretty predictable. A grizzled old-timer named Cimarron Dobbs(Emmett Lynn)accidentally finds a large horde of Spanish gold left behind by Santa Ana's army. He feels he needs some help keeping someone else from getting their hands on it and saloon girl Dixie(Helen Mowery)wants to help him. she mails pal Steve Reynolds(Starrett)and he arrives with saddle buddy Smiley Burnette. When the old prospector is kidnapped it seems saloon owner John Munro(Robert Filmer)and his gang are connected to it. Reynolds dons his Durango Kid outfit and goes into hero mode. For a bit of comedy, Smiley banters about with a lady barber(Maudie Prickett). And of course there are some hillbilly songs to stretch the movie out. The better tunes being: "The Old Folks At Home" by Lynn, "Follow The Trail" by Hank Newman and Burnette's funny "Swamp Woman Blues".
Nothing unexpected or out of the norm. A decent cowboy flick that also stars: George Chesebro, Zon Murray, Jim Diehl and Frank Ellis.
