The Lone Star Trail is a 1943 American Western film directed by Ray Taylor and starring Johnny Mack Brown and Tex Ritter. The supporting cast features Fuzzy Knight and Jennifer Holt and, in a small role as a villain, Robert Mitchum (billed as "Bob Mitchum"). The screenplay was written by Oliver Drake from a story by Victor Halperin. It was the last of 29 B-westerns Brown starred in for Universal beginning in 1939.
A paroled convict (Johnny Mack Brown) returns to his home town to prove his innocence against the land-grabbing town elders who framed him for a stagecoach robbery. He's aided in his quest by his partner (Fuzzy Knight), girl friend (Jennifer Holt), and a new friend (Tex Ritter) who is a U.S. marshal traveling incognito.
