They kinda grow on you.

Thing about these old westerns is that they kinda grow on you after a while (no... NOT "like a fungus" !)

The plot is rather typical with new schoolmarm endangered by the dastardly gambling hall owner, rustler, robber, kidnapper, politician corrupting (etc.) villain. Hoppy and young and romantic sidekick and woman-hating Windy/Gabby are the "three" of the title.

The scenery looks familiar and it's rather nice being able to look up locations here on IMDb. Kernville, CA and the Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, CA were used and films are still made in both locations. Great rocks for shoot-outs and hiding stolen animals.

"Three on the Trail" is an early Cassidy film. Hoppy really looks a lot younger than usual. This has NOTHING to do with the film itself... just a side note.

Read the biography page of the lady playing that nice "Rose Peters". Cool !

If you like shooting and galloping horses and even some square-dancing, this 1936 Western is another one that is worth a look-see.
