Santa Fe Stampede is a 1938 American "Three Mesquiteers" Western film[1] directed by George Sherman and starring John Wayne, Ray Corrigan, and Max Terhune.

The Mesquiteers, Stony Brook, Tucson Smith and Lullaby Joslin, re-unite with an old friend, Dave Carson, who is prospecting near Santa Fe Junction.

The trio attempt to put the man they caught into the town jail but are told they cannot do it without a court order signed by judge Hixon.

Having seen how bad things are in town, Stony suggests to the townspeople that they file a petition of appeal to the territorial governor to have the mayor recalled.

When the trio stop to get ranchers Carey and Franklin to sign the petition, Stony leaves to file the claim for Dave.

The mayor sends hi men to work up the townspeople into a mob, and they demand that Stony be strung up with a rope.

Stony finally gets the keys from a still unconscious Nancy and manages to save her and himself by going out the back wall which has been blown out by the dynamite.

Frank S. Nugent of The New York Times wrote that the Three Mesquiteers' success was "probably due to the fact that nobody has thought of ambushing them with a Flit gun".
