THE KID'S LAST RIDE

Cinemavixion Review

S. Roy Luby's 1941 Western, "The Kid's Last Ride," offers a classic tale of outlaws and lawmen, featuring the reliable trio of Ray 'Crash' Corrigan, John 'Dusty' King, and Max Terhune. The plot, as hinted by both sources, involves the notorious Breeden Brothers, disguised as upstanding citizens, who hire the Range Busters as lawmen, only to find themselves on the wrong side of justice. The film, with a runtime of 55 minutes, delves into a cat-and-mouse game where outlaws attempt to deceive and control, while the Range Busters strive to uphold the law. While the external data suggests a plot involving Harmon and Jimmy, and a trap set for Crash, the core narrative remains consistent: a confrontation between those seeking to exploit and those seeking to protect. Despite its modest IMDb rating of 5.3, "The Kid's Last Ride" serves as an engaging example of B-Westerns from its era, characterized by straightforward action and familiar archetypes. It's a film that fans of the genre will likely appreciate for its adherence to convention and the performances of its seasoned cast.
