Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Blue Blazes was one of the "Blue Streak" western series emanating from the busy studios of Universal City. Cowboy hero Pete Morrison comes to the aid of heroine Barbara Starr, who hopes to avenge her grandfather's murder. The motive for the old man's demise was $25,000, hidden somewhere in the vicinity of the dead man's cabin. Morrison vanquishes the bad guys and rescues the heroine from a fiery doom, with the considerable assistance of his wonder horse "Lightning." Like most of Pete Morrison's silent vehicles, Blue Blazes was short and sweet, running a mere 41 minutes.
