In Old Oklahoma is better known today by its reissue title, War of the Wildcats. John Wayne heads the cast as oil man Dan Somers, who carries on a bitter feud with his crooked rival Hunk Gardner (Albert Dekker). Furthering the animosity between the two men is schoolteacher-turned-novelist Catherine Allen (Martha Scott), with whom both Dan and Hunk fall in love. The main story and the romantic second story both come to a head when Dan is offered a valuable contract if he can deliver an oil

Not much of a story, but John Wayne makes for a pleasant heroic figure.
Decent but pretty average John Wayne western. The story is fine, the acting so-so. Nothing outstanding at all about the film, but it is well made and there is nothing awful about it either.
