Charles Starrett played a dual role as a former Texas Ranger and his secret identity, âThe Durango Kidâ, in a long-running series of B-Westerns in the 1940s and â50s. His standard sidekick, Smiley Burnette, was around for comic situations and light-hearted musical entertainment between the action sequences, where heâd sometimes lend his pal a hand in solving the mystery and capturing the bad guys. Steve Woods (Starrett), Smiley and the Sheriff of Dusty Creek go to a ghost town mine in search of missing gold and re-tell the tale of how a gang of crooks stole the gold and were later double-crossed by one of the thieves. Newly remastered.
