Stagecoach Kid is a 1949 American Western film directed by Lew Landers and starring Tim Holt, Jeff Donnell and Richard Martin.

[2][3] The film has been described as "a sort of western remake of It Happened One Night (1934), with a rare romantic subplot for Holt.

The ambush is thwarted by stagecoach line owners, Dave Collins and his pal, Chito Rafferty.

However, Dave and Chito are driving the stagecoach, along with two other passengers: their friend, Birdie and Jessie Arnold, who is dressed as a boy and headed for San Francisco.

Dave finds her, but they are ambushed by Thatcher and Clint, who know Jessie can identify Parnell from the stage robbery.

As the entire entourage leaves town to find Jessie, Thatcher and Clint enter the sheriff's office, kill the lone deputy, free Parnell and ride off.

Thatcher tells Parnell to leave the area, promising to pay him part of the money from the strong box.

Jessie tells her father she no longer desires to go back to San Francisco as she is attracted to Dave.

As Parnell and Clint force Mr. Arnold to open his safe, Dave, Chito and Jessie ride up and a short gunfight ensues.

Dave works his way to the roof of the ranch house and jumps on Parnell and Clint as they exit with Mr. Arnold.
