The Durango Kid rides again in Lightning Guns. As ever, the masked Durango (alias Steve Brandon) is played by
Charles Starrett, who this time around is on the trail of a gang of cold-blooded killers. Rancher Dan Saunders (
Edgar Dearing) is held responsible for the killings because of his opposition to a politically expedient dam project. Durango believes that Saunders is innocent, and he intends to prove it. Appearing in a secondary role is Jock O'Mahoney (later known as
Jock Mahoney), who also doubles for
Charles Starrett during many of the action scenes. Starrett's leading lady is Gloria Henry, whom couch potatoes of the 1950s will remember as Alice Mitchell on TV's
Dennis The Menace. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
