Stagecoach War

Hopalong Cassidy, Lucky Jenkins and Speedy are driving a herd of Bar-20 mustangs to Bluesky, to be delivered to Jeff Chapman, operator of a stagecoach line. They come upon a stagecoach, which has just been looted of silver bullion by Smiley and his singing outlaws. The Bar-20 men give first aid to Jeff, who was shot during the robbery, and Lucky drives the stagecoach to town. There, Lucky is hard smitten by Jeff s daughter, Shirley, but she is in love with Neal Holt, who also has designs on her father s mail-carrying contract. Holt s foreman, Twister Maxwell, secretly works with Smiley and his gang, tipping them off on gold and silver shipments. Hold and Cassidy get into an argument over the merits of the Bar-20 mustangs versus Holt s pure-bred Morgans and the end result is a match race, with the stage contract as the stake.
