The Wild West Show is a 1928 American silent Western film directed by Del Andrews and starring Hoot Gibson.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Rodeo Bill and his cronies vote the small town circus a frost until the horses in the stage coach act bolt and give Bill an opportunity to rescue Ruth Hinson, the circus owner’s daughter, who is the heroine of the act.

Bill and his cronies rustle a big crowd from the country-side to see the performance next day when Ruth is to go up in a balloon.

He is disgusted when he discovers he has rescued Zella the cross-eyed knife thrower, who made an accidental ascension.

He incurs the dislike of Alexander, who plots with his henchmen to steal the gate money and incriminate Bill.
