    • Quotes
      • [a gang of thugs holds up Mary's stagecoach]
      • Cannonball: Your wastin' your time, Mister. We don't carry nothin' but mail on this stage.
      • Henchman Santry: We ain't particular about what we steal. Get busy, boys!
      • Mary Halliday: Someday, they're gonna hang you sidewinders from the rafters!
      • Henchman Santry: Maybe so, if they catch us.
      • Cannonball: Look, Miss Mary, they turned the horses loose. Say, y'all can't do this to us! How are we goin' to get back to Quantro Basin?
      • Henchman Santry: Try walkin'. It's good for what ails you.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening title cards: In the days when the West was young, Congress passed the Overland Mail bill, which authorized the extension of the mail service from the Mississippi Basin to the Pacific Coast... and so began a deadly struggle for control of the postal franchises.

      1870 Brent Lines get Topeka mail contract. Brent seeks control of Quanto Basin Line. Western Stage Company bought by Brent.
