Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Mysterious Rider Synopsis
Columbine, though in love with foreman Wilson Moore, agrees--out of gratitude to her foster father, Bellounds--to marry the ranch-owner's ne'er-do-well son, Jack Bellounds. While Wilson becomes friends with the ever-present Mysterious Rider (Hell Bent Wade), Jack is ensnared by Madge and Ed Smith into a scheme to rustle cattle from his father. The blame for the stolen stock falls on Wilson, and in the ensuing events Wade recognizes Ed Smith to be the murderer of his wife and discovers Columbine to be his long-lost daughter. Wade kills Smith in a fight, Wilson is cleared, Jack is exposed, and Columbine is united with her true love.
The Night Riders Synopsis
In Alberta, Canada, a Cornish emigrant unmasks a rustler posing as the girl's "blind" father.
"The Mysterious Rider" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Night Riders" offers its own unique cult appeal.
