In 'Frontier Horizon' (1939) Stony Brooke (Wayne) is an honest man who, with the Three Mesquiteers, is subject to a crooked property deal in which some prospectors are trying to get the good guys to exchange their land. In 'The Lucky Texan' (1934) Jerry Mason (Wayne), a young Texan, becomes partners with old rancher Jake Benson (George 'Gabby' Hayes) and they strike it rich with a gold mine.
