Designed for the regional family trade,
Pony Express Rider is a fond harkback to the Saturday afternoon westerns of old.
Stewart Paterson plays the title character, a young frontiersman hoping to avenge his father's death. He takes a job with the Pony Express mail service in hopes of running across his dad's murderer. The supporting cast is populated with such always-welcome reliables as
Joan Caulfield,
Henry Wilcoxon,
Ken Curtis,
Slim Pickens and
Dub Taylor.
Pony Express Rider was directed by
Robert J. Totten, a specialist in episodic television horse operas.
