*Plot and ending analyzed*
The Phantom Stagecoach (1957) doesn't rise above the average rating, and it seems more like a TV Western, but there's some good stunt work with horses in here.
The plot is a mysterious stranger helps ward off an attack on a stagecoach. He shows up in town, trying to help the Stagecoach owner with constant attacks occurring on his Stage line. Turns out, he's actually a Wells Fargo agent.
The Phantom Stagecoach of the title is an armored Stagecoach built by the men trying to sabotage the other Stage line. The Phantom Stagecoach chases the other stagecoach, but all they had to do was shoot the horses and disable the armored Stagecoach. Nonetheless, the chase scene is fun.
Character actor Ray Teal (Decision at Sundown (1957), Hangman's Knot (1952) and Ace in the Hole (1951) is in here as a Sheriff, which he played often in many Westerns.
Some of the horse chase scenes change midway, like they used some stock footage from another film. Still, it isn't the worst Western I've come across. It's an average one.
