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]

Featured review
Routine but Fun
Wagon Wheels West (1943)
*** (out of 4)
Routine Western short has U.S. Marshall Frank Wilson (Robert Shayne) seeking vengeance against the man who he saw kill his father as a child. The Marshall rides into town just to bust the man but gets a lot more than that. If you've seen at least one Western in your lifetime then you're not going to see anything new here but I was still entertained by the short, which featured a couple good performances and a nice ending. Shayne was very good in his role and made his character someone you wanted to root for. Nina Foch, who is best remembered for her roles in such horror titles as THE RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE and CRY OF THE WEREWOLF, makes her screen debut here. What really makes up for the routine nature of the film is the wonderful ending, which includes a chase as well as a wreck down a giant hill. The way things play out were very exciting and makes the twenty-minutes worth it.
