Passable Durango Kid entry
26 February 2022
Markham and his men have found gold on the Indian reservation and are trying to get rid of them by starting an Indian war. Dressed as Indians they are attacking the soldiers. Steve Holden is the Indian agent sent to prevent a war. After finding proof that white men posing as Indians were responsible, he is able to locate the gang's hideout but quickly becomes a prisoner slated to be killed.

A passable Durango Kid entry that symphasises with Indians, a trend that started with Broken Arrow and would carry on throughout the '50s. Charles Starrett plays the masked rider/Steve Holden with his usual inimitable style and always came across as sincere, and to me, he's the ultimate western star. Jock Mahoney does well as a white man brought up by Indians and is suitably angry. Smiley Burnette is over the top as usual and can be annoying at times. After all, he is required taste.
