Synopsis by Hal Erickson

RKO Radio's Thundering Hoofs was the first of several Tim Holt westerns directed by "Hopalong Cassidy" veteran Lesley Selander. The plot is galvanized by the chicanery of crooked lawyer Farley (Archie Twitchell), who has been sent westward to purchase a stagecoach line on behalf of his boss. It soon becomes obvious that Farley intends to cheat both buyer and seller out of what is due them. Buyer's son Bill (Holt) joins forces with seller's daughter Nancy (Luana Walters) to foil the duplicitous attorney's scheme. Perennial Holt sidekick Ray Whitley sings only two songs in this outing.
