This film begins in California during the Civil War with "Roy Rogers" (Roy Rogers) riding from one relay station to another as a member of the pony express. Naturally, being at war, the Confederate forces desperately want to control the flow of information from the Union side. So, the first thing they do is to send a wealthy and influential person named "Senator Calhoun Lassiter" (Edward Keene) to the town of St. Joe which serves as the most important source of information from the east. Senator Lassiter then buys the local newspaper and turns it over to a young man named "Brett Langhorne" (Don Dillaway) who is secretly a Confederate spy. Additionally, Senator Lassiter has also enlisted the help of an outlaw named "Luke Johnson" (Noble Johnson) to assist him in disrupting Union dispatches being carried by the pony express as well. What nobody counts on, however, is the ability of Roy Rogers to do his job regardless of how many obstacles they throw in his path. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that--for a film that only ran for 58 minutes--this turned out to be an enjoyable Western, all the same. Admittedly, it is quite dated, and the film quality wasn't that great. But even so, I found it to be good enough for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
