Stage to Chino is a 1940 American Western film directed by Edward Killy from a screenplay by Morton Grant and Arthur V. Jones, based on a story by Norton S. Parker.
In the Old West the attempted robbery of a stagecoach, heading to the town of Chino, Arizona, carrying passengers and the U.S. Mail, is thwarted by cowhand Dan Clark.
Clark directs the McKay stage line to send the gold shipments to the government mint for proper processing.
Elliot's gang cause a fire at the McKay offices in order to destroy the stagecoach and rob the gold held in the safe.
With Clark aboard, they chase the stage, driven by Hoagland, which Elliot dispatched to Prescott to report the "stolen" gold to the government and win the contract.
