Hoof Marks

"Hoof Marks" gallops into a quintessential Western narrative, charting the trials of young Elara Vance (Peggy O'Day), whose family ranch, a beacon of resilience against the encroaching frontier, finds itself in peril. Her spirited independence is tested when a shadowy figure, known only as 'The Rider' (Edward Cecil), begins to systematically undermine her operations, his presence marked by the distinctive hoof prints of a legendary, untamed stallion. Into this simmering conflict rides Silas Thorne (William Steele), a taciturn drifter with a mysterious past, whose own connection to the fabled horse – and perhaps to Elara's plight – becomes increasingly clear. The film unfolds as a tense struggle for land, legacy, and the truth hidden within the very 'hoof marks' that crisscross the arid landscape, culminating in a climactic confrontation that promises to reveal both villainy and valor.
