Stage To Tucson (1950)
Director:
Ralph Murphy
Writers:
Frank Bonham (novel), Robert Creighton Williams
Stars:
Rod Cameron, Wayne Morris, Kay Buckley
Rod Cameron and Wayne Morris star as Civil War officers who become federal agents. The duo is sent west to investigate a series of stage hijackings. The criminals tend to bypass gold and valuables, and are seemingly interested only in the weapons carried on these coaches. It turns out that the hijackers are secret secessionists, hoping to achieve victory for the Southern cause. Stage to Tucson manages to pack a passel of thrills into its 82 minutes, compensating for the film's paucity of plot.
