Stage to Chino
21 March 2024
Caroline (Vale) is trying to secure a mail contract for her stage line. She's being plotted against by her Uncle Charlie (Carl Stockdale) and Dude Elliott (Roy Barcroft). Dan Clark (George O' Brien), an undercover postal inspector, intends gets to the bottom of the nefarious goings-on, unexpectedly aided by a traveling salesman (Hobart Cavanaugh).

Stage to Chino is a typical O'Brien-Vale entry, which spells enjoyable. It's lighthearted with the usual scheming bad guy, fistfights, saloon brawl ( O'Brien's most impressive stuntwork of the series is during a big barroom brawl sequence where he jumps up on the bar and swings from a lantern! ), Stagecoach action ( in one scene O' Brien transfers from one moving stagecoach to another. Apparently O' Brien did the actual stunt work.), romance and yodelling. The plot moves swiftly, and ends satisfyingly.
