The Trail Rider poster

Released in 1925, The Trail Rider is a notable film directed by W.S. Van Dyke.

What it’s about. Publicized as "A Red-Hot Romance of the Western Plains," this above-average Buck Jones oater features the rootin' tootin' star as Tex Hartwel, a cowboy who saves an old cobbler from being abused by a nasty banker (Carl Stockdale). The banker does not take kindly to Hartwell's interfering and orders his henchman to kill the upstart. Hartwell, alas, is the fastest gun in the territory and gets out of the scrap alive and kicking.

Who’s in it. The Trail Rider stars Buck Jones as Tex Hartwell, Lucy Fox as Fanny Goodnight, Carl Stockdale as Jim Mackey and Jack McDonald as Dee Winch, among others.
