Description: When the telephone wires are broken in a storm an eight-year old boy rides to town to fetch a veterinarian for a sick horse. As he rides he imagines himself to be a pony express rider braving mountains and desert and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles in order to carry his message. Filmed in Arizona., An eight-year-old boy emulates his pioneer ancestors as he rides through the rough western countryside to carry a message for his father. As he compares his trip with the pony express rider's, the latter is visualized.
