The Golden Strain is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by Victor Schertzinger and written by Eve Unsell based upon a novel by Peter B. Kyne.

The film stars Hobart Bosworth, Kenneth Harlan, Madge Bellamy, Lawford Davidson, Ann Pennington, and Frank Beal.

[1][2][3][4] As described in a film magazine review,[5] Lieutenant Milt Mulford, on being commissioned, joins a United States Army post located near his father's ranch.

Because Gaynes, government agent, is cheating the American Indians out of supplies, the Apaches go on the warpath.

Fear seizes the officer at the opening of a skirmish, and he fails to lead his men, and he is temporarily disgraced.
