Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe series' initial entry ended in 1919, but this initial sequel is set at a much earlier date as there appears to be no automobiles.
- GoofsWhen the boxers and promoters are meeting in Barrington's office, there is a cut-in to 'Wild Man' Joe Kamatski sitting down. As there is is a character standing directly in front of him on the master shot, that would preclude any possible close-up.
- Quotes
Stony Brooke: [looking at the empty bank vault] Well, they sure cleaned you out, Mr. Thornton.
Lullaby Joslin: [talking positively about the hold-up] Sure used my head yesterday by not gittin' to the bank on time.
Tucson Smith: [critically] You always say the right thing at the wrong time.

The Three Mesquiteers Searching for Stolen Gold in a Ghost Town
Having just earned a tidy sum for the sale of some cattle, two cowboys named "Tucson Smith" (Ray Corrigan) and "Stony Brooke" (Robert Livingston) send their friend "Lullaby Joslin" (Max Terhune) into a nearby town to deposit their check. However, rather than going directly to the bank, Lullaby decides to spend some time in a nearby saloon playing poker instead. As a result, when both Tucson and Stony finally get to town, they find out that Lullaby hasn't deposited their check yet. So, once they finally find him, they all venture over to the bank only to discover that the bank was just robbed. Recognizing how this affects some of their friends in town, the Three Mesquiteers set off to find the outlaws who robbed the bank and return the money to its proper place. What they don't count on, however, is the fact that an old prospector named "Jake Rawlins" (Milburn Morante) has already found the money and hidden it in an old ghost town several miles away--and this creates all kinds of problems for everyone concerned. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay western for the most part with both Ray Corrigan and Robert Livingston putting in their usual solid performances. Likewise, having an attractive actress like Kay Hughes (as "Sabina Thornton") certainly didn't hurt either. Admittedly, I didn't especially care for the corny ventriloquist acts of Lullaby Joslin but, even so, this wasn't a bad Western by any means, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
