Stony Brooke, Rusty Joslin and Rico, known as The Three Mesquiteers, return to Oklahoma at the close of the Spanish-American War, and are concerned that some of their wounded buddies have no prospects for a satisfactory future. When the government offers preferred homesteads in the newly-opened Oklahoma territory to war veterans, they send word for their pals to join them there. Once there, the veterans meet a hostile reception as the cattlemen resent the influx of "nesters" and are determined to drive them out. Mace Liscomb and his brother Orv plan not only to drive out the homesteaders, but to also double cross the cattlemen and gain exclusive titles to the range lands for themselves. Stony and his pals eventually show the honest cattlemen that there is room for the settlers and that both are fighting a common enemy. Written by Les Adams

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The long-running Three Mesquiteer series featured a number of line-up changes through the years. In this one, tough, wiry Bob Steele is joined by the silver screen's Captain Marvel, Tom Tyler. Comic relief is provided by Rufe Davis in this standard tale of bandits waylaying an oil-drilling operation.The series was best when it starred John Wayne, Crash Corrigan and Max Terhune -- but this lineup was nearly as good ! The action, chemistry and humor were well blended in this fun sagebrush programmer. Tom Tyler was a great addition and Bob Steele was that rare B-star who could hold his own in the acting department. Enjoy this one !
