Blazing the Overland Trail is a 1956 American western serial film directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet and starring Lee Roberts.

Rance Devlin intends to build his own empire in the American West, using his gang of masked horsemen "the Black Raiders" and his alliance with savage Indians to do so.

Still obligated to produce two new serials per year, he economized severely, taking entire chunks out of older serials and filming new scenes around them -- hiring fewer actors, and even bringing back some of the same actors who had appeared in the circa-1940 footage.

Unlike many long-running series that were abruptly canceled without advance notice, Columbia and Katzman had definitely agreed that Blazing the Overland Trail would be the final serial.

Most trade journals had stopped reviewing serials by the 1950s; only Motion Picture Exhibitor published a report on Blazing the Overland Trail, and then it was only a plot synopsis.
