Westward Ho begins as hero John Wyatt (John Wayne) vows to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of cattle rustlers. Years later, Wyatt is put in charge of a band of vigilantes, bent on rounding up a gang of outlaws. He discovers to his chagrin that one of the bandits is his own long-lost brother (Frank McGlynn Jr.) This revelation eventually leads our hero to the men responsible for the slaughter of his family. Gorgeous location photography by Archie J. Stout is the film's main asset. Though released by Republic, Westward Ho is closer in spirit to John Wayne's previous "Lone Star" series for Monogram -- and small wonder, since it was originally intended to be part of that series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
