] Tom Mix was still an A-list star in 1935, along side Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr and Mary Pickford. He was paid $40,000 for four weeks work on "The Miracle Rider", which he used as urgent funding to support his circus.

The serial combined the large cast and interlocking plots of a silent serial with the science fiction and cliffhangers of the sound era.

tunts

Tom Mix, whose voice was strained and nasal due to a repeatedly broken nose and a bullet through his throat, did a lot of his own stunts, although some were doubled by Cliff Lyons.
