overview
What is Quick on the Trigger about?
HOT ON THE TRAIL OF OUTLAWS,TUNES AND FUN. Quick on the Trigger was Charles Starrett's second "Durango Kid" picture for 1949. It all begins when ousted sheriff Steve Warren (Starrett) is put on trial for the murder of heroine Nora Reed's (Helen Parrish) brother. Steve is innocent, of course, but he doesn't stand a chance against prosecuting attorney Garvey Yager (Lyle Talbot) -- especially since Yager is the real killer. It blends western elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Ray Nazarro.
