Wild Horse Stampede is a 1943 American Western film directed by Alan James and starring Ken Maynard and Hoot Gibson, who play marshals with their own names in the manner of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. It was the first of eight Monogram Pictures "The Trail Blazers" film series, replacing the studio's Range Busters series.

Plot

Cowboys Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard try to help newly appointed sheriff Bob Tyler. The Army needs a herd of horses to help protect the new railroad line from Indian attacks, but bad guy and town boss Carson tries to stop the delivery. Gibson, Maynard, and Tyler must save the day.

Production

With many actors called up for World War II, Monogram Pictures began a series starring two older but still popular Western stars, Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard. Maynard recalled Monogram offered each of them $600 per film. When Maynard remarked to Gibson that the pair of them should lose some weight for the film, Gibson replied "For the kind of money we're gettin' I ain't missin' no desserts".^[1]
