The Conquerors is a 1932 American pre-Code Western film that spans several generations in a family that lives through a series of financial crises with faith in the future of the country.
It was directed by William A. Wellman, and stars Richard Dix and Ann Harding as a young couple who move from New York City to the American West and build a banking empire.
Roger rallies the community against them, but falls off his horse because he is still too weak; the posse continues on without him and hangs the entire gang at once.
With the help of the Blakes, Standish Bank is an instant success, and on opening day Caroline gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Caroline discovers that the railroad's president was a friend of her father, and charms him by offering to prepare a favorite sweetbread recipe from DelMonico's restaurant in New York City.
Their son is riding with Doc Blake in a buggy when the whistle blast from the incoming train throws the team of horses—who have never seen or heard a train—into a wild panic.
Though the family mourns their loss, Roger and Caroline's daughter, Frances grows into a beautiful young woman and marries Warren Lennox, one of the employees in Standish's bank.
