Sunset Carson Rides Again is a 1948 American Western film produced and directed by Oliver Drake and shot on his own ranch.

In the desert foothills, rancher Sunset Carson finds a young Easterner who has drunk from a poisoned spring, and takes him to his ranch, where his sister Joan looks after him.

The young man introduces himself as The Kansas Kid and explains that he jumped off a freight train thinking he was taking a short cut to a nearby town.

Meanwhile, Sunset, who is on a committee to raise funds for a school building, promotes a boxing match between an itinerant fighter Slugger and his partner Webster, who used to be a boxer.

The fight, whose winner stands to become Comanche's owner, attracts a sizable crowd but there is concern about The Kid's ability to box for more than a few rounds as he has been weakened by the poisoned water.

Meanwhile, The Kid, who has decided to return East, asks Joan to give his father's letter to Sunset and leaves on foot.
