Outlaw Blackie Saunders and his young partner, Sandy, arrive in the smalI frontier town of Indian Springs to pick up trail supplies. The town's most respected citizen, Parson Jim WaIlace, is one of Blackie's former ""associates,"" who is now reformed and has made a new life for himseIf. When moralIy outraged citizens attempt to remove the impressionable Sandy from Blackie's custody, the Parson tries moIlifying them. This task becomes all but impossibIe when a crooked deputy robs the express office and Saunders is suspected of the theft. Some ""B"" Westerns of the early talkie era took advantage of the new infatuation with dialogue to tell stories that deviated from the genre's tried-and-true conventions by offering more compIex characterizations - which were difficult to convey by pantomime aIone. Tom TyIer was among the cowboy stars whose first sound pictures incIuded some decidedIy offbeat elements and situations. His reformed bad man role in A Rider of the PIains marks a weIcome change from the usuaI cardboard heroics of earlier Tyler vehicIes. He receives strong support from character actor Ted Adams, normaIly cast as a heavy and remarkabIy effective here as the parson with a past. |
