Trivia
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.

Quotes
Dixie King: Once it gets out about your discovery, your life won't be worth a plugged nickel.

Disappointing but.....,

This is disappointing in that the plot is incredibly convoluted for a short (55m) Movie. However, it's worth seeing for a few reasons;

1) The It's the Law I almost called it video with the seven faces of Smiley Burnette. It's almost surrealistic the way it happens. It's also the only music in the film.

2) It's the very last Durango Kid Movie.

3) The rooftop running and jumping scenes and some of the other action scenes are worth sitting through the rest of this hard to follow courtroom drama.

It is a shame that the last film of a generally fun Series like this is so woebegone.
