The Return of the Durango Kid

Plots(1)

In 1875, when outlaws hold up the stage bound for Silver City, Texas, and discover that the payroll is missing, they demand the passengers' jewelry and money instead. Bill Bladen, one of the passengers, protests the seizure of his watch, while Paradise Flo, a saucy saloon singer, directs them to her handbag under the seat, where they find the payroll. Later, in town, Leland Kirby, the lawless proprietor of the Crystal Palace saloon, praises Paradise for pointing his men to the payroll. At the stage depot, meanwhile, Bill learns from Buckskin Liz, the hardy old woman who owns the line, that Kirby runs the town and was probably the man behind the theft of his watch. Bill proceeds to the saloon, where one of Kirby's men taunts him with the watch. Claiming that the watch belonged to his father, Bill demands its return, and when the man refuses, Bill shoots out the lights, reclaims his watch and leaves. Back at the stage depot, Bill tells Buckskin that he came to Silver City to exonerate his late father, who was framed by outlaws. (official distributor synopsis)
