Plot Summary
Ballard's trail jumpers attack the Wyatt Company wagon train,
killing young John's parents and kidnaping his brother, Jim.
In post-Civil War California, John Wyatt, now a man, pulls together a vigilante posse, The Singing Riders,
who all ride white horses, dress alike, and ride the trails singing and rounding up outlaw gangs.
Meanwhile, John is ever on the lookout for the gang that murdered his parents.
