It's interesting that this story was set around Roswell, New Mexico...a place with little fame up until the supposed UFO crash in 1947. The film mentions a New Mexico Military Institute and there IS indeed such a school in Roswell...if you are interested. I just drove past the place a week ago.
When the story begins, Gene has just been appointed guardian for a teen following his father's death. Unfortunately, it won't be an easy task as Randy (Dickie Jones) turns out to be a real punk....and a hard-headed one at that. As a last resort, Gene decides to send the boy to the nearby military school...hoping it will give him discipline and a sense of purpose. What's next? See the story and find out for yourself what happens AFTER he's expelled from this school!
Overall, this is a very good Gene Autry film...one of his better ones. It lacks many of the usual cliches and is fun from start to finish.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with Dickie Jones, he was made famous for providing the voice for Walt Disney's "Pinocchio"....and in the late 1940s and through the 50s he made a name for himself appearing in many westerns.
