THEY HIT THE CIRCUS TRAILS IN A FAST-RIDING, ACTION-THRILLER THAT ENDS IN A BLAZE OF GLORY ON THE RACE-TRACK!
Director: George Sherman
Producer: William Berke
Nancy Evans, lovely circus owner, has a ranch that she's never visited, but for sentimental reasons won't sell to Mike Abbott. Her partners, secretly in league with Abbott, sabotage the circus to force Nancy to sell the ranch; instead, she goes there to live. Will her neighbors, the Three Mesquiteers, be a match for the secret swindlers? And what's so valuable about that run-down ranch anyway?

CinemaSerf:
"The Three Mesquiteers" are quietly going about their business when struggling circus owner "Nancy" (Carol Landis) shows up at their ranch thinking it is her's (she's gone and got the address wrong!). In correcting this error, the boys discover that her partners and a local bigwig are trying to swindle her out of her inheritance by offering a pittance for her late grandfather's ranch! Why do they want to so badly? Might there be gold in them thar' hills (or oil under them)? It's quite a rollicking ride, this film - plenty of chemistry on screen between John Wayne and Landis, and the story has a few fun plot twists that draw his partners in crime Max Terhune ("Lullaby") and Ray Corrigan ("Tuscon") as her disaster almost becomes their's' too! We've even got a gorilla as well - guess who? All good fun.
