Summary
In this 1924 silent-era tapestry, the rugged topography of the American border serves as the backdrop for a high-stakes masquerade of honor and avarice. The narrative pivots on the predatory Severn, a bandit of serpentine cunning who infiltrates the domestic sanctity of the Estrada estate. Severn’s ambition is twofold: the acquisition of the Estrada coffers and the hand of the patriarch’s daughter in a forced matrimonial alliance. Through a masterclass in gaslighting, Severn manipulates the aging Estrada, casting the stalwart Dave Marshall as the very outlaw terrorizing the region. When Marshall arrives to strip the mask from his rival, he finds himself ensnared in a judicial trap, incarcerated by the very man he sought to protect. The film evolves into a desperate race for exoneration, propelled by the kinetic prowess of Silver King, the white stallion who functions not merely as a beast of burden, but as a sentient agent of justice in a lawless land.
Synopsis
