Steve angers the rustler's leader, Flip Dugan when he purchases the old Atkins ranch which is supposedly haunted. Flip and his henchmen try to prevent the recording of the deed, but the Durango Kid and Deputy Marshal Tug Carter win the gun battle.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Charles Starrett played the Durango Kid in over sixty films between 1940 and 1952, making this mask gimmick one of Hollywood's longest-running secret identity bits.
This was Jock Mahoney's early uncredited henchman era before he became a major stunt performer and later took over the Durango Kid role himself in the 1950s—full cowboy circle of life.
