In 1934, John Wayne starred in the classic Western, The Lucky Texan. The film is about a young man named Jerry Mason who strikes gold while out prospecting with his best friend, Jake Benson. Together, they begin a successful mining operation and become wealthy. Jerry's newfound wealth attracts the attention of some unsavory characters, including a local crooked banker who wants a share of the profits. Along with his girlfriend Jane, Jerry must navigate the dangerous world of small-town corruption and greed.

The Lucky Texan is a classic Western tale that leaves a lasting impression. The film is full of action-packed shootouts, thrilling chase scenes, and stunning landscapes. John Wayne delivers a standout performance as the rugged and determined Jerry Mason, a character that would become a staple of his career.

The chemistry between Wayne and his co-stars, Barbara Sheldon and George 'Gabby' Hayes, is also a highlight of the movie. Sheldon plays Jane, Jerry's love interest, and provides a charming and plucky foil to Wayne's tough-guy persona. Hayes, meanwhile, brings his signature wit and humor to the role of Jake Benson, providing some much-needed levity to the otherwise tense story.

The film captures this spirit of entrepreneurship and self-reliance, even in the face of corrupt institutions and societal unrest.

Overall, The Lucky Texan is a must-watch for any fan of classic Westerns or John Wayne. Its thrilling action sequences, memorable characters, and compelling story make it a true gem of the genre.
