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" Plug Perkins and his henchman Cheyenne follow 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 earlier quarreI finds himseIf the prime suspect in the sheriff's investigation.
The career of Jack Perrin, a popular Ieading man of siIent-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 vehicIes, thanks to a script that boasts numerous unusuaI touches. For example, the kiIIer turns out to be a superstitious, harmonica-pIaying half-breed, and one of the clues 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 novelty value. Had more Perrin Westerns sported such offbeat touches, his tenure as a horse-opera Ieading man might well have been extended. - Ed Hulse |
