Cowboy star Fred Humes didn't have much of a personality, but his Universal western series paid its way in the hinterlands. In The Fearless Rider, Humes comes to the aid of a pretty girl whose prospector father has just struck it rich. The villain, who hides behind a cloak of respectability as the town druggist, does his best (or worst) to steal the prospector's lucky strike for himself. After knocking out half a dozen of the druggist's flunkies, Humes mops the floor with the principal heavy. Fast and furious, Fearless Rider makes up in sheer energy what it lacks in credibility.
