Wild Horse Rustlers is a 1943 American Western film directed by Sam Newfield and written by Joseph O'Donnell. The film stars Robert Livingston as the Lone Rider and Al St. John as his sidekick "Fuzzy Jones", with Lane Chandler, Linda Leighton, Frank Ellis and Stanley Price. The film was released on February 12, 1943, by Producers Releasing Corporation.[1][2][3]

This is the thirteenth movie in the "Lone Rider" series, and the second starring Robert Livingston. The first eleven movies star George Houston.[3]

Plot

Tom Cameron, the Lone Rider, discovers that a gang of Nazi spies are interfering with the federal government's plans to round up horses for military service—and, worse, that his own twin brother is helping them.

Continuity

The murder of Tom Cameron's family was a major plot point in the first "Lone Rider" movie, The Lone Rider Rides On. In that movie, the reveal that Tom's brother had survived was the movie's big twist. His brother sacrificed himself heroically at the end of the movie, with no mention that Tom had another surviving twin brother.

Reception

According to media historian Hal Erickson, "Wild Horse Rustlers was PRC's 1943 entry in the "Nazis on the prairie" western cycle... Minus the propaganda angle, this is merely another cattle-rustling opus, with the standard western bad guys saying "Seig heil!" instead of "Let's get outta here!" As was usual at PRC, Al "Fuzzy"St. John provides the film's best moments."[2]
