Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers tell the story of Pecos Bill, an infant who fell out of a covered wagon and was discovered and raised by a family of coyotes. His relationship with the coyotes teaches him survival and, as a result, grows up to become a he-man of the American Desert earning the friendship of a horse named Widowmaker after rescuing him from a flock of buzzards. However, the relationship between man and horse is threatened when Pecos falls in love with a dame named Slue Foot Sue. They plan to wed but the marriage is threatened when Pecos offers Sue a ride on Widowmaker.

| Goofs | At the end of the cartoon, when Pecos and Widowmaker go back to live with the coyotes, it's seen that Pecos has removed his clothes and left them in a pile in the desert and Widowmaker has removed his horseshoes. However, Widowmaker lost his horseshoes earlier in the cartoon when he was bucking around when Slue-Foot Sue was riding him and a cowboy was seen being hit in the head by the horseshoes. See more » |

| Quotes |
Roy Rogers:
Yep, Bill went back to the coyotes, but he never forgot Sue. [Pecos Bill and Windowmaker are shown on top of a mountain under a full moon] Roy Rogers: And every night when the moon raised high, he'd lift his voice a mournful cry. [Bill howls mournfully at the moon] Roy Rogers: Bewailing the fate of his lady fair, his long-lost love in the sky up there. [the screen pans to a coyote standing on another mountain. The coyote howls at the moon] Roy Rogers: So painful was his grief to see, the varmints joined in out of sympathy. And that's how come, to this very day. Coyotes howl at the moon that way.
