Abstract

Bizarre "Three Mesquiteers" oater has a Nazi on the run assume the identity of the nephew of a trusted German refugee who has developed a system to obtain valuable rubber from culebra plants. Tucson Smith, Stony Brooke, and Lullaby Joslin become a bit suspicious of this German (after all, it was wartime), so they bring the real nephew's mother in to identify her son. She blows the whistle on the Nazi imposter, and the cowboys round him up in short order.
