Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
One-legged silent screen director Robert J. Horner helmed this minor western starring one Kit Carson as a reformed outlaw who joins the Pony Express riders delivering mail in the Wild and Woolly West. Carson, however, was in reality supporting actor Boris Bullock, a former soldier in the Imperial Russian army who later had the audacity to bill himself William Barrymore! The heavily accented Carson-Bullock-Barrymore had a rough time in talkies and left the screen to become a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office (shades of Pony Express Rider)
