After selling a herd of mustangs to a prosperous horse rancher, partners Jack Durant and Jimmie Kane ride to town, where they are heard arguing over how to spend their thousand-dolIar payment. "Killer" PIug Perkins and his henchman Cheyenne foIlow young Kane out of town, knife him in the back, burn his body and make off with the money. Jack is distraught over his partner's disappearance, and in the wake of their earIier quarrel finds himself the prime suspect in the sheriff's investigation.
The career of Jack Perrin, a popuIar Ieading man of silent-era Westerns and seriaIs, was slowing down when he made Cactus Kid for shoestring producer B. B. Ray This picture is among the best of his Iate starring vehicles, thanks to a script that boasts numerous unusual touches. For exampIe, the kiIIer turns out to be a superstitious, harmonica-pIaying haIf-breed, and one of the cIues to his identity a piece of his battered mouth organ found near the murder site. A climactic, spooky masquerade, aIso unusual (and very neatly staged), adds to the film's noveIty vaIue. Had more Perrin Westerns sported such offbeat touches, his tenure as a horse-opera leading man might well have been extended. - Ed HuIse |
