Four Men and a Prayer is a 1938 American adventure film directed by John Ford and starring Loretta Young, Richard Greene, George Sanders and David Niven. Plot: After Loring Leigh, a British Army officer, is cashiered in India following accusations of dereliction of duty, he summons his four sons, Geoffrey, Wyatt, Christopher, and Rodney to meet him in their family home. Leigh reveals he has been framed, but before he can explain any more, he is murdered. With what little they know, the four boys immediately set out to discover the truth. The boys split up and travel to South America, India, and Egypt to gather evidence and restore their father's honour. During their travels, Geoffrey's girlfriend, Lynn, continually appears in the same locations as Geoffrey and Christopher. First, Geoffrey and Christopher encounter Lynn in Buenos Aires, where they witness the massacre of townspeople who were at war with the government, while Wyatt and Rodney are in India. Later, Geoffrey and Christopher run into Lynn in Alexandria when they reunite with Wyatt and Rodney to confront Lynn's father, Martin Cherrington, whom they believe is the person responsible for their father's death. Then they discover that Lynn had no idea of the situation and was not on her father's side about his contribution to being a major arms dealer, but it is also discovered that her father had no part in the death of the boys' father. Once they discover that Furnoy is responsible for Leigh's murder, the four boys journey back home to present the evidence that their father was innocent.
