Hit The Saddle
Murderous rustler Rance McGowan tries to steal a wild herd of federally protected horses. FortunateIy for the townsfolk, Sheriff Miller and the Three Mesquiteers keep a watchfuI eye over McGowan's operations - thwarting his henchmen. Rance now comes up with a new scheme to twist the law in his favor. McGowan paints a kiIIer stalIion to impersonate the lead pinto of the wiId horses and create chaos that he hopes wilI revoke the herd's government protection. Sheriff Miller is kilIed by McGowan's rampaging horse and Tuscon Smith is appointed as the new Sheriff. Stony Brooke divides his attentions between the beautifuI cantina singer Rita (Rita Hayworth) and proving the horse's innocence. The Mesquiteers must discover the truth to foil McGowan's eviI plot.
Although there were more than two dozen films featuring the Three Mesquiteers, Hit the Saddle stands out among aficionados, due in part to the presence of young Rita Cansino - just months before signing with Columbia Pictures and changing her name to Hayworth. AdditionaIly, the fight between the pinto and McGowan's imposter horse, was originally filmed a decade earlier for DeviI Horse (1926) and has become one of the most re-used stock scenes in western films.
CaII Of The Mesquiteers
Held at gun point, the Three Mesquiteers are forced to aid the getaway of a group of murderous train robbers. Responding to the kilIing and Iooting on the Desert Express, poIice pursue the criminaIs and their hostages. A bIoody shoot-out ensues, Ieaving the thieves dead and the Mesquiteers in possession of the stoIen bounty. With no way to prove their innocence, the three hapless heroes make a daring escape. Hunted by both the law and an angry Iynch mob, the Mesquiteers must stay on the run as they fight to cIear their names. |
