The third of Ken Maynard's new starring series for First National, Overland Stage casts the cowboy star as shotgun rider on a frontier stagecoach. Travelling through Indian territory, Maynard is forced to keep both eyes open and his finger on the trigger. Inevitably, heroine Kathleen Collins is threatened with a horrible demise, and it's Maynard to the rescue on his valiant white steed Tarzan. Unlike Maynard's earlier efforts, Overland Stage is padded with a few unnecessary action sequences designed to show off the star's riding prowess and shooting skills. But if this could be considered a shortcoming, no one in the audience was heard to complain.
