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

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

No recorded New York opening. 6 reels. 56 minutes.SYNOPSIS: The Mesquiteers invade a wildlife sanctuary.NOTES: Number ten of the fifty-two Three Mesquiteers pictures. COMMENT: One of the best of the series, cleverly scripted and directed in a remarkably lively fashion, this entry offers thrill- packed action almost all the way, thanks in great measure to Yakima Canutt, who is fighting mad in this one and is given plenty of leeway. I also enjoyed the performance of J.P. McGowan (who offered suggestions to Joe Kane, including the wonderful shot in which the Dawson clan turn their collective backs on the camera and burst out laughing). Our star trio register okay, but it's the support players (including Lynne Roberts and even Sammy McKim) and the convincing stunt-work that make this film so unexpectedly exciting.

The Three Mesquiteers have a real problem on their hands. Bears from the neighboring National Park are running off the cattle from their ranch. These bears are not the Yogi and Boo-Boo kind of bears, they don't confine themselves to running off the with picnic baskets.The Mesquiteers go into the park to kill the predators and they run afoul of the Forest Rangers. In the meantime a family of Deliverance type folks from the hill country have a dastardly scheme going and it involves the use of a tame bear who is a pet of young Sammy McKim.It's really dumb when you think about it. Bears rustling cattle, plenty of bear tracks around, but no dead cattle carcasses. I mean you don't have to be a Daniel Boone like woodsman to figure out it ain't the bears. Of course the Rangers ain't exactly Rhodes Scholars.This has to be one of the worst of the Three Mesquiteer series.
