Prairie Moon

In the rolling plains of the Midwest, a warm‑hearted cowboy who doubles as the town’s de facto protector tends the wide‑open acres of a family ranch left to him by a longtime friend. Gene Autry lives by a steady rhythm of sunrise chores, quiet evenings around the fire, and the occasional melody that drifts on the wind, creating a setting that feels both rugged and inviting. His faithful companion, a quick‑talking sidekick with a knack for finding trouble, is never far away, adding a touch of comic relief to the everyday life of the range.

When an unexpected letter arrives from the bustling streets of Chicago, the quiet of the ranch is shaken by the arrival of three spirited brothers—William “Brain” Barton, Clarence “Nails” Barton and Hector “Slick” Barton. Raised in the city, the boys bring a blend of streetwise cleverness and fierce independence that clashes charmingly with the slower pace of frontier living. Their adjustment is guided by a compassionate schoolteacher, Peggy Shaw, whose steady presence helps bridge the gap between city smarts and country sensibilities. Together, the group forms an unlikely family, their interactions sparking both humor and heartfelt moments as the boys learn the ropes of ranch work while Gene and Peggy discover new dimensions to their own lives.

Amid the golden horizon, the ranch becomes a hub of camaraderie and light‑hearted adventure, hinting at larger challenges that lie just beyond the next ridge. The trio’s energetic curiosity and Gene’s steady leadership suggest that they’ll soon be called upon to face the classic trials of the Old West, including the ever‑present threat of rustlers that haunts the open range. With the ranch’s future balanced on the edge of youthful vigor and seasoned experience, the story promises a blend of music, humor, and the timeless pull of homecoming.
