The film's cast features Ralph Lewis, Claire McDowell, Johnny Harron, and Ella Hall. The West~Bound Limited was the third film in Emory Johnson's eight-picture contract with FBO. The film was released on April 15, 1923. Esther Miller, the daughter of the railway company's president, and her mother ride horses alongside the railroad tracks.

Bill Buckley's son, Johnny, rescues her at the last minute. Esther develops feelings for her newfound hero. A thankful Esther gives Johnny her horse, and a grateful father provides the Buckley family with a new home. Soon, the President's general counselor, J. Lawrence Wilton, reveals he has emotions for Esther and is scheming to win Esther's hand in marriage. Wilton sets up a string of machinations involving Esther, Bill Buckley, Mrs. Buckley, and Johnny. Johnny saves his father and hundreds of train passengers from disaster. Johnny rescues Esther from the villainous Wilton and falls in love. Wilton's intrigues finally reap their just deserts, and everybody lives happily ever after. (en)

  • What the world needs most today is a better understanding of humanity. What it wants are love and human sympathy. Thus, I have set out to make love the theme of all my productions. I have sought to show how whole families are lifted from sorrow to contentment by love and kindly sediments. (en)
  • To secure atmosphere for my railroad story, westbound limited, Emory and I have ridden in the engine cab, in the caboose, on the cowcatcher, and almost every place on the train that is an unusual one for a layman to occupy. We have visited the railroad yards, roundhouses, dispatchers' offices and have climbed into switch towers. We feel that this procedure enables us to work out the story's details more intelligently.

  • Melodrama is our meat – but it's high-class melodrama. It allowed the public to weep and sympathize with the handsome hero and the beautiful heroine. We don't want to label our pictures, we must make pictures that appeal to all. (en)
