There's rustling going on in Roy Rogers' home town, and old-fashioned methods won't work, this being 1942 and all. So Roy is sent in undercover to hang out with the old gang, and Lynn Carver, who looks nice enough, but the audience soon finds out is in cahoots -- wherever that might be -- with William Haade -- to vamp information out of her fellow ranchers, and to distract everyone by throwing a party for Roy so the cattle are unguarded. Meanwhile, Roy is distracted b Gabby Hayes' daughter, Sally Payne, and other local girl Gale Storm.
It's a typical B movie plot with a touch of women's lib as Miss Storm decks Miss Carver, and the Sons of the Pioneers are on hand to sing and play. We even get to hear Gabby sing a verse or two. By now the Roy Roger franchise was smoothly operating, with all the pieces in place and a cast that repeated from movie to movie under the direction of Joseph Kane and good scripts. The songs are pretty good too.
