What happens

Riders of Destiny is a 1933 pre-Code Western musical film starring 26-year-old John Wayne as Singin' Sandy Saunders, and is one of the earliest examples of the singing cowboy movie. It was the first of a series of sixteen Lone Star Westerns made for Monogram Pictures between 1933 and 1935 by writer and director Robert N. Bradbury, and the first pairing of Wayne with George "Gabby" Hayes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
