Posse Rider - edited from 'Song of the Saddle': [looking at the dead body of Phineas Hook] Buzzard meat.
Posse Rider: Well boss, it looks like all your troubles with the Hook outfit are over.
U.S. Marshal Frankie Wilson: Yeah, I reckon it does. But I'd sure hate to be the Devil and... share my domain with a renegade like him.
Mexican Deputy: Diablo!
[the film then ends with a brief scene of a joyous barn dance celebrating the roundup of Hook and his gang]

Short Remake of Song of the Saddle
Warner Bros. western short that starts out with a man and his son driving a wagon of supplies into a town. The man goes to the general store where he sells his supplies to the store's owner Phineas Hook (Charles Middleton). But Hook doublecrosses the man and sends his goons to kill him and his son after they leave town. The boy, Frankie Wilson, manages to escape but his father is killed. So he vows to come back when he grows up and get Hook. Adult Frankie (Robert Shayne) returns as a deputy US marshall to set a trap for Hook, now a banker. Interesting to see Robert Shayne in a western. I'm so used to seeing him as police detectives and the like. Also nice to see Nina Foch in her first role. This is a remake of a feature length movie called Song of the Saddle from 1936. Charles Middleton reprises his role. All of the footage here from when Frankie was a boy was from that movie. If you'll notice young Frankie plays a guitar and sings. In the original movie he grew up to become "the singing kid" played by Dick Foran. I'm really not sure why WB remade the movie as a short, then reused footage from the movie for part of it. I'm sure it made sense at the time.
