Roy Rogers is about to have his ranch repossessed, but Gabby Hayes discovers a molybdenum deposit on the property, so Roy heads to Wall Street financier Pierre Watkins . Watkins is busy with his horse running in the steeplechase, but his daughter, Ann Baldwin is interested -- in Roy, if nothing else. So she has Roy ride her father's horse and win. But the bad guys want the mine for themselves, and Watkins wants his daughter back, so this goes on for another twenty minutes.
There are some plot holes that are ignored, and the songs are nothing special, but there's some nice interplay between Hayes and Raymond Hatton, and some location shooting at Red Rock Canyon State Park. Republic Studios were riding Rogers hard, with nine westerns in 1939, but Roy's amiable and simple line readings help to keep things moving along pleasantly.
