The Saga of Windwagon Smith is an animated Disney cartoon which was originally theatrically released on March 16, 1961.
Synopsis
Capt. Windwagon Smith blows into a Kansas town of Westport with a strange contraption: a Conestoga prairie wagon outfitted with a wind sail. The town fathers figure that since a small windwagon does so well, a big super windwagon must do better. They set out to build one (while Smith meets the mayor's daughter, Molly and falls in love) and launch it on its maiden voyage to very unexpected results.
