The Vagabond Trail is a lost 1924 American silent Western film directed by William A. Wellman and produced and distributed by the Fox Film Corporation.

The film is based on the 1923 novel Donnegan by George Owen Baxter (aka Max Brand).

Plot

As described in a film magazine review, while playing with his younger brother Donnegan, Lord Nick is the cause of his injury and, when he learns that the youngster may die, he leaves home and becomes a vagabond. However, the boy does not die, and when he becomes older he sets out to find his older brother. He has several thrilling encounters, among which is one with a bully who shoots and wounds Donnegan rather severely. It develops after the shooting that the man who committed the crime is the brother for whom he had been searching. After a reconciliation, there is happiness among the parties.
