Blazing the Overland Trail (1956) is a Columbia Pictures serial directed by veteran serial specialist Spencer Gordon Bennet and produced by another serial specialist, Sam Katzman. It was the 57th and last serial produced by Columbia and the last serial ever produced by any major studio. Republic Pictures, the only other serial-producing studio in the mid 1950s, had ceased its serial production the previous year with King of the Carnival.

Rance Devlin intends to build his own empire in the American west using his Black Raiders and allied Indians to do so. Only US Army scout Tom Bridger, allied with Pony Express rider Ed Marr and U.S. Army cavalry Capt. Frank Carter, can stop him.

The film uses stock footage from Overland with Kit Carson.
