Another cheap and cheerful Lone Star outing for the Duke - this time avenging his murdered father with the ever-helpful Gabby Hayes at his side. The culprit is the evil rustling bandido Zanti (Earl Dwire) and his gang and they are soon firmly set in his sights. The glamour comes from a really rather shrieky Shiela Terry with eyes that make up most of her visage. The plot and the acting are rudimentary, it's got a great secret hideaway and the star is still exactly that. I'm not entirely sure the filming is all entirely original - some scenes seemed oddly reminiscent of others in the series, but it passes away an hour without any serious cerebral effort required.
