'Blazing the Overland Trail' is a 1956 American Western Serial film directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet and starring Lee Roberts. It was the 57th and last serial produced by Columbia and the last American serial ever produced by any studio (either major or minor). Republic Pictures, the only other serial-producing US studio in the mid 1950s, had ceased its serial production the previous year with 'King of the Carnival'.
