THE LUCKY TEXAN is another of the B-movie westerns that John Wayne made for Lone Star back in the 1930s. It's a fast-paced and amusing little picture in which Wayne and his buddy play gold prospectors who decide to open a mine, only to be attacked by murderous rivals. This film is notable for featuring plentiful action sequences and a minimum of plotting. There are a lot of two-fisted bouts, a hilarious stunt sequence of Wayne water-skiing, and a classic rail cart chase climax which certainly lifts a smile or two. It's strictly ordinary, but still infinitely more entertaining than much modern-day fare.
