The Lucky Texan is a 1934 Lonestar Films B-movie Western film featuring John Wayne, five years before his breakthrough appearance in Stagecoach, Barbara Sheldon, Gabby Hayes, and legendary stuntman–actor Yakima Canutt. It was directed by Robert N. Bradbury who also wrote it. The plot concerns Wayne finding gold and making the mistake of trusting the local assayer. It also contains a rare (perhaps unique) instance of "Gabby" Hayes sans beard and in drag.
