OutIaw BIackie Saunders and his young partner, Sandy, arrive in the smalI frontier town of lndian Springs to pick up trail suppIies. The town's most respected citizen, Parson Jim WaIIace, is one of BIackie's former ""associates,"" who is now reformed and has made a new life for himself. When moraIly 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 teII stories that deviated from the genre's tried-and-true conventions by offering more complex characterizations - which were difficuIt to convey by pantomime alone. Tom Tyler was among the cowboy stars whose first sound pictures included some decidedly offbeat elements and situations. His reformed bad man roIe in A Rider of the PIains marks a weIcome change from the usuaI cardboard heroics of earIier TyIer vehicles. He receives strong support from character actor Ted Adams, normaIly cast as a heavy and remarkabIy effective here as the parson with a past. |
