The Plainsman and the Lady (1946)

В 1890 году богатый шейх впервые пригласил участвовать в соревнованиях иностранца. Им стал американец Фрэнк Хопкинс, лучший ковбой и наездник на всем Диком Западе. Влиятельный шейх поставил сумасшедшие деньги на победу иноземца.Теперь его судьба зависит от противостояния американского выскочки на мустанге по кличке Идальго и лучших арабских жеребцов, управляемых самыми искусными наездниками-бедуинами. И далеко не всех устраивает победа дерзкого янки в традиционном арабском дерби, ведь она может принести одним — славу, а другим — смерть. И для Фрэнка победа становится не только делом чести, но и единственной возможностью выжить в жарких песках бескрайней пустыни…
