The right of way and mail contract for competing stagecoach lines is the reason for the conflict in Blazing The Western Trail. Steve Clark and Al Bridge run competing lines and just by the casting you know Al Bridge will be the villain.
Bridge did a lot more than westerns. He was a favorite member of Preston Sturges's stock company, probably best remembered as the prison warden in Sullivan's Travels. When Clark is killed his daughter Carole Matthews takes over. But she gets some aid from none other than Charles Starrett going incognito as the Durango Kid with Tex Harding and Dub Taylor as sidekicks.
The Durango Kid series was most popular for Columbia Pictures right up to the mid 50s. An exciting stagecoach race where Durango foils some homicidal bad guys is the climax. Those have been popular since Ben-Hur.
Fans of the Durango Kid series should like this.
