Ridin' Pretty is a 1925 American silent Western film directed by Arthur Rosson and starring William Desmond, Ann Forrest, and Stanhope Wheatcroft.[1][2]
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] Arizona cowboy Sky Parker goes to San Francisco to claim an inheritance left him by his uncle. He takes five cowboys with him. The "boys" have a hectic time, among the adventures include a ride through the city on borrowed truck horses from a brewery, a stunt for which they are arrested. A cousin of Sky persuades Maize, a young woman, to assist him in getting the inheritance away from Sky, but she relents and runs away. Sky rides a motorcycle to catch and board her train, winds her consent to marriage, and throws out his cousin.
