John Cutting

Columbia's 11th serial and the first western serial that James W. Horne solo-directed.

Serials usually spawned feature film versions, but with this film, it was the other way around. A 1932 Buck Jones Western, White Eagle was made into a serial nine years later, again starring Jones in the title role, a (supposedly) Native American Pony Express Rider defending his people against a gang of evil Whites.

The evil and masked "Gargoyle" is sabotaging all of America's industrial plants. It is up to the Spider to save the country.
