Simple old-fashioned western that starts with spectacular stunts on, in front of, next to and behind a galloping horse-drawn carriage, and that ends with the lovers on horseback riding ahead of the title stampede. In between, Randy tries to save Judy from the clutches of Noah Beery, while Harry Carey looks on and the Indians also put their two cents in. In short, something for everybody in a film that is not on its age but still offers enough entertainment for the enthusiast.
Apparently this is a remake of the 1925 silent western Thundering Herd starring Seth Holt, and because some shots from that precursor had to be incorporated into this film for budgetary reasons, Randolph Scott was given a thin villainous moustache to make him look more like Holt; unfortunately, he also now resembles Brian Donlevy, so the tough, charismatic Scott we would later come to know isn't really present here.
