Stagecoach Kid

In the Old West, wealthy San Franciscan Peter Arnold retires to his ranch with his daughter, Jessie, who despises western life and wants to return to San Francisco to pursue a romance. Mr. Arnold's ranch foreman, Thatcher, sends his henchmen, Clint and Parnell, to murder Arnold en route to his ranch. The ambush is thwarted by stagecoach line owners, Dave Collins and his pal, Chito Rafferty. Later, Clint and Parnell attack a second stagecoach, that they think is the first, looking for Arnold. However, Dave and Chito are driving the stagecoach, along with two other passengers: their friend, Birdie and Jessie Arnold, who is dressed as a boy and headed for San Francisco. Discovering Mr. Arnold is not on board, the henchmen instead steal a strong box containing $20,000. Jessie recognizes Parnell when his mask slips. Dave sees a brand on one of the horses. Dave and Chito leave Jessie in Birdie's care and report the robbery to the sheriff. Clint and Parnell deliver the strong box to Thatcher, telling him they were not able to locate Mr. Arnold. Thatcher sends them out to finish the job.
