The Montana Kid, "El Keed" south of the border, slips a marriage noose to join Mateo Rubriz, prince of Mexican outlaws, in a wild cross-border raid. The target: a gold and emerald crown stolen by the governor of Duraya from the church under his protection! In Duraya, Montana and Rubriz have no problem getting into the governor's fort, even finding the crown. It's the getting out that nearly undoes them! "Max Brand blazed the western trail for others who came after him. He invented the type for films to follow and, with his books and stories, brought us entertainment that shines as brightly today as when it was first written." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
