Southward Ho is a 1939 American Western film directed by Joseph Kane and starring Roy Rogers.

Towards the end of the War Between the States, Roy and Gabby are two Confederate cavalrymen who lure away a Union Army cavalry patrol in order to steal a cooked chicken and Union Colonel Denbigh's trousers.

The Colonel is called back into service as a Military Governor to enforce the Reconstruction Acts against the former Confederates of the State.

The cavalrymen assigned to the Colonel are all military criminals who use the opportunity to loot and terrorise the people for their own benefit.

The Colonel's response is to remove the right of firearm ownership from the Texans with his men confiscating their weapons.
