Oklahoma Renegades
1940
Stony Brooke, Rusty Joslin and Rico, known as The Three Mesquiteers, return to Oklahoma at the close of the Spanish-American War, and are concerned that some of their wounded buddies have no prospects for a satisfactory future.

Once there, the veterans meet a hostile reception as the cattlemen resent the influx of "nesters" and are determined to drive them out.
