Cody of the Pony Express (1950) is the 42nd serial released by Columbia Pictures.
Widely known as Buffalo Bill, William Cody helped define the image of the Old West and became one of the best-known celebrities of the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a teenager, he herded cattle and rode vast distances for the Pony Express in order to support the family.
The plot centers on a young Cody joining forces with the Lieutenant Jim Archer to battle an outlaw gang secretly headed by Mortimer Black, an unscrupulous lawyer who is tempted by greed into a series of crimes leading to murder. Original name is Cody O'Rourke.
Cody of the Pony Express was filmed on locations in Pioneertown, California.
Cody of the Pony Express was the last serial with a boy in the title role (in this case as the young Buffalo Bill/William F. Cody).
