Winds of the Wasteland
A six-shooter writes the law as war flames on the range! Adventure---as bullets blaze the pioneer trail!
Directed by Mack V. Wright
Produced by Republic Pictures
A straightforward 1930s Western adventure about displaced Pony Express riders competing for survival in a changing frontier, driven by action and camaraderie rather than depth.
The arrival of the telegraph put Pony Express riders like John Blair and his pal Smoky out of work. A race will decide whether they or stageline owner Drake get the government mail contract.
