Pony Express Rider is a 1976 American Western film directed by Robert Totten and starring Henry Wilcoxon, Maureen McCormick and Joan Caulfield.

[1] In 1860 young Jimmie Richardson joins the Pony Express to help find the man he believes killed his father.

They are friends - Trevor Kingman is a rancher who lusts for power and Jed Richardson is a modest man who hopes to carve decency into the western wilds.

The only link between them is the love that developed between Richardson's son, Jimmy D., and Kingman's daughter, Rose of Sharon.

When a feud develops between the two families, Bovey (Kingman's son) - in a moment of anger - murders Jed.
