Westward Ho (1935)

In the wild heart of post-Civil War California, the tranquility of the Wyatt Company wagon train is shattered by the brutal attack of Ballard's ruthless trail jumpers. The assault ends in tragedy, claiming the lives of all but two young brothers, John and Jim Wyatt. The horror of the event is amplified when Jim is snatched away, disappearing into the lawless wilderness with his captors. Years carve the boys into men and their paths diverge dramatically. John Wyatt, hardened by his past but fueled with determination, transforms into the leader of a unique vigilante posse known as The Singing Riders. Dressed alike and astride their striking white horses, they blend harmonies with justice, traversing the trails to round up outlaw gangs, their melodies a stark contrast to their mission. Meanwhile, Jim, ensnared in the clutches of his captors, becomes an unwilling part of Ballard's gang, the very men who tore their family asunder. Unbeknownst to him, his brother tirelessly searches, forever on the hunt for the gang that extinguished the light of their parents' lives. As destiny would have it, the trails of the brothers are set to cross once more, a culmination of their shared past and divergent present. The brutal men who set this saga into motion unwittingly sowed the seeds of their own reckoning. In this tale of brotherhood, vengeance, and the quest for justice, the echoes of the past resonate with each hoofbeat, leading to a reunion steeped in tension and anticipation. Will the bonds of blood prove stronger than the forces that seek to keep them apart?
