The Red Ryder

(1934)

310 minutes

Western / Serial

Directed by Lew Landers

You've never seen anything like it before for speed , drama, mystery and suspense!
This serial is about the efforts of lawman 'Red' Davidson (Buck Jones) to save his friend 'Silent' Slade (Grant Withers) from being hanged for a crime he didn't commit. Inspired by W.C. Tuttle's original pulp-magazine story, "The Redhead from Sun Dog", and being based on a story by one of the better western writers of the era, it is also filled with fleshed-out characters far from the one-dimension type found in most serials of the time.
