The Kid from Broken Gun

The Kid from Broken Gun is a 1952 American western action film directed by Fred F. Sears, and starring Charles Starrett, Jock Mahoney, Angela Stevens, Tristram Coffin, and Myron Healey.

Steve Reynolds (secretly The Durango Kid) tells of the discovery of hidden Santa Ana gold believed to be in the stolen strong box.

The Durango Kid gathers all interested parties in the courtroom and reveals the actual progression of events, thus exposing the real murderer.

Scriptwriter Barry Shipman structured the film as a courtroom story, so the testimony from the witnesses could be related as flashbacks to the older scenes.

The studio fell back on its usual practice whenever a series was discontinued: the character identification was dropped from the film credits and the promotional materials.
