Lively western
27 January 2022
A group of outlaws posing as Southern sympathizers and led secretly by freight-line owner Jim Maroon are raiding stagecoaches, and this is a threat to the Union communications. Grif Holbrook, a trouble-shooter for the Butterfield Stage Line, and Union man Barney Broderick team up to try and put a stop to the activity, when they aren't fighting over the charms of Kate Crocker.

Stage to Tucson is a lively western with no pretensions except to thrill. The plot is brisk, creative and brimming with shootouts, fisticuffs and magnificent stagecoaches - loved the rogue riderless iron stagecoach idea and how they steal the stagecoaches - and plenty of stunts. As expected, there's a bit romantic conflict between Rod Cameron and the eccentric Wayne Morris, and their interaction and fights are amusing. As well as action, there's plenty of intrigue and plot twists and colourful characters. Rousing finale rounds up an entertaining western.
