Another Three Mesquiteers oater starring John Wayne. This is one of the more memorable entries in this generally unremarkable series. What makes this one noteworthy is the Mesquiteers (Wayne, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan, Max Terhune) donning hoods and capes that look disturbingly similar to the Ku Klux Klan and leading night raids against a con artist (George Douglas) who has used a phony land deed to set himself up as a dictator over local ranchers. As with the rest of these low budget Republic westerns, this is barely interesting as a time-passer. Having John Wayne in it makes it mildly more interesting. The faux-KKK angle makes this a curio worthy of discussion, but certainly doesn't improve the entertainment value any. This was Duke's first film released after his breakthrough role in Stagecoach. Sadly it would be a couple more years before he was able to leave these simplistic action-heavy quickie westerns behind.
