Seeders have the complete download. 0 downloading · 0 completed downloads.
Open the .torrent file in your torrent client to start. It includes the webseed. A magnet link opens your client directly; it may need peers to find the file details. No account needed.
First download? Start here
- Install a torrent client on your computer, such as qBittorrent or Transmission, from its official site.
- Choose Download .torrent above. This small file tells your client which files to fetch; it is not the film, book, or music itself.
- Open that file in your client, choose a folder with enough space for the download size shown above, and start the transfer.
- Once it finishes, open the downloaded files. Leave the torrent in your client to share it with others.

Download not starting?
- If a magnet does nothing, open your client first or use Download .torrent and open the saved file from the client.
- If the client is waiting for metadata, try the .torrent file. It already includes the file details and available webseed fallbacks.
- Check that the torrent is not paused or queued, your destination has enough free space, and your connection is online.
- A recent seeder report is not a guarantee of a connection now. Webseeds can also be temporarily unavailable; leave the client open and try again later.
You do not need an account to download.

The Feature
Gene Autry plays Gene Autry, a singing cowboy who has to broadcast his radio show from Radio Ranch every day at two o'clock or lose his contract — which becomes difficult when he keeps being abducted to Murania, a scientific civilization twenty thousand feet beneath his own pasture. The genre collision is total and nobody involved appears remotely troubled by it: yodeling, robots, ray guns and Thunder Riders across twelve chapters. There is nothing else quite like it, and there was never going to be.
The copy we chose
Print Report
Chosen print (2026-08-23): Archive.org item chapter-01-the-singing-cowboy — all 12 chapters, 240 min total, 1.92 GB, ~1.1 Mbps.
Ships as a single multi-file torrent containing all 12 chapters in order, which is how a serial was actually shown — a chapter a week. Chapter files are zero-padded so their running order is their sort order.
Found by a serial-aware sweep, which sums every video file in an item rather than judging one file at a time; the ordinary print sweep could not see serials at all, because it compared a single 20-minute chapter against a multi-hour listing and discarded the item. The chapter sequence was checked for gaps — a missing chapter is the usual failure and is invisible unless counted — and the release total was verified against Archive.org's published sizes before hashing.
Watch-through done (2026-08-25): every chapter plays, none missing, none duplicated.
Public Domain
Why It's Free
Public domain in the United States by non-renewal. Published 1935 under the 1909 Act, which required a renewal registration in the 28th year; the scanned Catalog of Copyright Entries motion-picture volumes for 1962–64 contain no renewal of this film (checked 2026-08-17 against the Archive.org scans — method, matches and limits recorded in our verification notes). The check treats OCR absence as strong evidence corroborating the decades-long PD distribution consensus, not as sole proof; final sign-off re-reads the window at torrent-publish time.
