Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This "Universal Jewel" western was a vehicle for Rex, King of Wild Horses. While sexy Rexy is as impressive as ever, he is obliged to share screen space with a "human" plotline involving hero Hugh Allen and heroine June Marlowe. Rescuing Marlowe from a horse stampede, Allen manages to capture Rex, the king of the equestrian pack. With a little love and a lot of patience, Allen channels Rex's energies to win an important cross-country horse race. Fans of The Little Rascals will recognize June Marlowe as the kids' charming schoolteacher Miss Crabtree.
