Saved from a lynching party when Molly Denton (Nell O'Day) and Nina Kincaid (Anne Nagel) bring proof of mistaken identity, roving cowpuncher Steve Hardin (Johnny Mack Brown) is offered a job as a stagecoach guard by Molly's father Joseph Denton (Henry Hall). When Denton is ambushed and killed in an attempt to get a gold shipment through to the next town, Steve signs on himself and his sidekick, Clem Clemmons (Fuzzy Knight), as driver and guard for the stage line.
An enjoyable b-western with some nice touches such as the armour-plated Stagecoach and guards dressed as women. It has a steady plot, a rather cold head villain who is willing to use his daughter to learn about shipments and some nice songs. It has some energy and the shootin' is lively.

Stagecoach Buckaroo
Pleasant Universal B Western With A Solid Cast
Johnny Mack Brown and Fuzzy Knight rescue the runaway stagecoach with Anne Nagel in it. It's just been held up by a gang led by Herbert Rawlinson, the town's banker who seems to,spend all his time playing poker. Miss Nagel is his stepdaughter, but she thinks he's her father. After she almost gets Brown and Knight almost hanged, and rescued by Nell O'Day, the gents go to work for her coach line.
It's an exercise in singing, Knight's clowning, Brown's stalwart heroism, and three, count 'em, three runaway stagecoach stunts, with some mighty good camerawork - I thought Brown did the actual stunt work on at least the first. There are no fancy fillips here, just one of the sharp little B westerns that Universal turned out under the direction of Ray Taylor, but for fans of the genre, it's a pleasant hour.
