The Brave old days of stage-coaching through the mountains were full of bounce, not to remark the jolts of variety, and plenty of danger to spice what now is monotony in travel. The drift of this story with danger ever imminent, has plentiful spice of comedy, diversified by daring and wild, exciting drives. It was a time when men thought quick and shot quick, self-preservation being Nature's first law. The stage-coach, having the precious freight of two fair girls and much of Uncle Sam's mail, goes through on schedule time, despite the fact that a band of outlaws leagued to rapture the mail coach. The shotgun man and the driver manage to thwart the plans of the badmen without blood-shed. The company give them ample reward for bringing the mail on time, but more surprising and acceptable is the reward of the fair ones whose lives were saved by their brave guardians.
