Come On, Cowboy!

The film follows Mr. Wilson who hires Mantan Moreland to travel out West and deal with an old property. As Mantan navigates his task, he encounters trouble stemming from his belief that the house is haunted, while a gang uses the location as their hideout. This 67-minute film exemplifies the Western genre, specifically within the context of race films.

It has undergone restoration by the Academy Film Archive and Blackhawk Films, ensuring its preservation for future audiences. The restoration was made possible through funding from the estate of David Shepard, utilizing the only surviving 35mm nitrate print donated by Giancarlo Esposito and Laurence Fishburne.
