Synopsis: |
Gene Autry leads a group of cattlemen in rebellion when the Johnson Packing Company, through its crooked agent Thomas McCoy, offers less for their cattle than the agreed price. McCoy is heavily in debt to a gangster-bookie and plans to pocket the extra cash. Added to the mix is Kit Carson, an attractive young career woman whose future depends upon Grantley B. Johnson's radio sponsorship for a western program she made up on the spot! Kit journeys westward, rents Gene's ranch from Frog Millhouse, rounds up singing cowboys, and makes a show. Meanwhile, Johnson travels westward incognito and learns McCoy is cheating him. He then takes an active hand in setting matters straight with the ranchers who believe him to be dishonest. A desperate McCoy dynamites a tunnel the cattle are to pass, killing a rancher and injuring Tadpole. Gene manages to secure evidence to expose and convict McCoy.
