Westward Ho

Early John Wayne oater has him as a member of the Singing Riders, roaming, crooning (yes, the Duke lip-syncs a tune) do-gooders hunting the outlaw gang that ambushed a wagon train years earlier, killing John's parents and abducting his brother. Little does a vengeance-seeking Wayne realize that his sibling is now one of the black hats! Sheila Bromley, Frank McGlynn, Jr. co-star; this was the first Republic Pictures film. 61 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
