Bob Steele | Texas Buddies (1932) | Bob Steele, Nancy Drexel, Francis McDonald

Ted Garner, becomes an ace as an aviator in World War I, and then returns to Texas, replaces his helmet-and-goggles and airplane for a Stetson and his old horse-pal, Boy, and becomes a prospector with his friend Si Haller. Ken Kincaid and Blake have sabotaged and forced a U. S. Mail airplane to make a forced landing in the desert, with intentions of robbing the payroll it is carrying. Ted and Si come upon the scene and drive off the outlaws. The pilot has been wounded, but Ted takes over as the pilot and performs a different version of the old Pony Express term of "carrying the mail."

Bob Steele (born Robert Adrian Bradbury, 1907 - 1988) was an American actor primarily in B-westerns. His father, Robert N. Bradbury became a major director of B-Westerns in the early 20s. Bob's career began to take off in 1927, when he was renamed Bob Steele by Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) to star in a series of Westerns. In the late 1920s, 1930s and 1940s he starred in B-Westerns for almost every western film studio, including Monogram, Supreme, Tiffany, Syndicate, Republic (including several of The Three Mesquiteers series) and Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) (including the initial films of their "Billy the Kid" series), plus he had an occasional role in an A-movie such as John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men in 1939.
