Synopsis:
THE SCREEN'S MIGHTIEST DRAMA OF A STALLION OUTLAW...IN MAGNIFICENT OUTDOOR CINECOLOR!

In Gene Autry's first color picture, Champion stars in the title role as a wild stallion who becomes a legend of the West. More exciting than any manhunt is the furious pursuit of an outlaw stallion, branded a killer, and the two-fisted cowboy who fights off a gun-crazed posse to win justice for the noble animal. Filmed in vibrantly hued Cinecolor against the beauty of Arizona landscapes, The Strawberry Roan combines thrill-filled action with a tender story of loyalty and includes great Western songs. (1948)
