...route were restoring some of the legendary landmarks, cinema's hardest-riding Western star, resolute, weather-beaten Buck Jones, was blazing the trail again for the younger generation. Pledged to abstain from profanity and hard liquor, Buck and his heck-for-leather pony riders yippee forth on their foam-flecked ponies, carry the mail on schedule though redskins and mustachioed villains do their durndest to bar the way.
