Plot Summary - Another silent adventure-western/animal movie starring the beautiful black stallion, Rex the Wonder Horse. POSSIBLE SPOILERS HERE AND THERE - - In the wild lands where wild horses run lives a frisky little colt named Rex. Poor young Rex loses his mother early on, and must learn to grow up on his own, alone and lonely. Rex is soon grown and so begins a love story for him when he meets the white horse "Lady". Inseparable, the two of them, until trouble comes in the form of horse hunters looking to capture the best of the wild horses - and kill the worst (what jerks!). The two horses get caught in a stampede of wild horses trying to escape these men, and manage to make their own escape via a narrow ledge and into the hills, but they end up right in the secret retreat of an infamous crazy-eyed stallion known as "The Killer"! The Killer fights Rex and captures Lady for himself - - and meanwhile, in a nearby town called Pangle, cowboy Big Jim Lawson (Guinn "Big Boy" Williams) is busy sparking with Jane Logan, a woman who has rejected the evil Joe Pangle: cattle thief, bully, and killer who now wants to get even with her: by killing Big Jim! A gunfight between the two men outside her ranch leaves Big Jim to run into hiding in the hills or face the wrath of Pangle's gang. Around this same time, our poor Rex has become trapped in quicksand - but luckily Jim is soon nearby to save his life. Now Rex attempts to seek Jim's help in rescuing Lady, but Jim seems to be kind of empty headed as to what this horse is after. Soon Rex helps out both Lady and Jim when wild animals lurk to kill (dangerous area that!).
Review - A cute, entertaining horse film. Rex the Wonder Horse is quite the horse!! The outdoor locations and scenery are nicely photographed and used to best show off the horses and the action - looks like they sort of cut in some of the same filmed scenes of the horses (and other stuff) several times (I kept thinking - that looks like the same shot they showed before!). The DVD of this film, from Televista, I will describe as pretty much like the other Rex movie I reviewed last week (decent enough looking print - I've seen far worse! - with some deterioration here and there; old-fashioned, sometimes catchy music score) - - (as to the name of this film - in a couple of scenes a man calls our black horse "black cyclone"). Rating - 7/10 stars
