Go West (1925)

In the quaint simplicity of his small hometown, a young man struggles to find his place under the sun. His dreams drive him to the bustling energy of New York, where he finds himself a leaf caught in a whirlwind. The city’s relentless rhythm overwhelms him, and within mere minutes, he opts for a change of scene. An unplanned departure from a train lands him near a sprawling ranch, marking the beginning of his unexpected journey as a cowboy. In this unfamiliar terrain, he stumbles, fumbles, yet in his own unique way, triumphs. His true mettle is tested when the ranch faces the threat of bankruptcy. The only solution - a daring cattle drive of a hundred heads to the slaughterhouses of Los Angeles, flying in the face of a covetous neighbour seeking a higher price. A high-stakes shoot-out ensues, leaving our hero the sole guardian of a Los Angeles-bound train, charged with delivering a thousand cows. As the city boy turned cowboy, he navigates through trials, tribulations, and triumphs, leading his bovine charges to the West Coast. This tale of resilience and determination is a testament to the human spirit's ability to adapt and overcome.
