Cowboy pals Stony Brooke (John Wayne), Tucson Smith (Ray Corrigan) and Lullaby Joslin (Max Terhune) -- collectively known as the Three Mesquiteers -- befriend Ann (Doreen McKay), a pretty, seemingly normal young woman who turns out to be a government agent. Before long, the boys inadvertently get mixed up in all sorts of espionage, including an international smuggling scheme. Things get even worse when Stony is wrongfully accused of murder, and the Mesquiteers must clear his name.

Audience Member Really good early John Wayne here thank you’ll like it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, July 22, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Bill T The first John Wayne Mesquiteer movie. Why did he replace Robert Livingston? He was fun as Stony, he had this amusing edge about him. Sad to see him go. Wayne is alright I suppose.. It does feel like a one trick pony for him though, like he had to carry those other two. Anyways, the trio need foil a deadly gas delivery before it can get over the border and into WW II enemy hands! Sort of repetitious, this one is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The "Duke" Joins the Mesquiteers--A 'Best of the Best' Wayne Skeeters Outing...Fast paced western!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very minor "B" western, nothing much original at all. Notable mainly for an early prior to Stagecoach appearance by John Wayne. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
