Wild Horse Mesa is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Jack Holt, Noah Beery Sr., Billie Dove, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.[1][2] Based on the novel Wild Horse Mesa by Zane Grey, the film is about a rancher who, desperate for money, decides to trap and sell wild horses using barbed wire.

[3][4] As described in a film magazine reviews,[5] Lige Melberne and his men plan to corral a herd of wild horses by driving them into a barbed wire trap in the canyon of Wild Horse Mesa.

As the horses come into view Sue, cuts Weymer’s bonds and he is into the saddle to head them off.

However, when Sue offers to marry him if he will give the poor creature its freedom, he is struck with the pathos of her situation and frees the horse with no fee.

The freed horse starts up the side of the mountain and leads the herd away from the wire to safety.
