Did you know

Jock Mahoney appears not only as the token hero of the newly filmed framing story, but also as a henchman in the flashbacks which consist of archive footage edited from The Fighting Frontiersman (1946), from which almost half of the film came.

This film ended the seven-year-long "Durango Kid" series for Columbia, all starring Charles Starrett as "The Durango Kid" and featuring Smiley Burnette as his sidekick, coming off his successful partnership with Gene Autry.

Final film of Charles Starrett.
