Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeon Schlesinger, who in addition to creating and overseeing the Warner Bros. animation unit, also produced films for the studio's B-western unit. He signed a broad-shouldered young actor named John Wayne partly out of his physical resemblance to Warners' silent-era cowboy star Ken Maynard in order to more easily match the stunts and footage taken from the earlier Maynard silents that were to be inserted into a series of remakes of those films, of which this is one.

Featured review
"Since these cursed Americanos came, there's been no time for play, for love, for anything!"
Cavalry officer John Wayne fights Spaniards over land rights and over a pretty senorita. Early baby-faced Wayne doesn't do much to hint at what's to come later in his career. Luis Alberni is fun at times. Ruth Hall and Nina Quartero pretty things up. One of a half-dozen B westerns John Wayne made for Leon Schlesinger and WB in the early '30s. These are all watchable but ultimately forgettable. This one's not great and has some particularly spotty stunt work. If you're a John Wayne completist and you want to see all of his films, go right ahead and watch this. Everybody else should probably look elsewhere for something with more meat on the bone.
