Courage of Wolfheart

Silent western starring Wolfheart the dog. A band of settlers on the Oregon Trail is attacked by outlaws, who steal their horses. The horses are returned and the outlaws chased off by three cowboys who just happen to pass by. Years later, the three cowboys again save the settlers when they are threatened by some rebellious farm-workers.

Directed by Charles R. Seeling, Courage of Wolfheart leans on a strong ensemble — Wolfheart the Dog, Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, Kathleen Collins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1925.
