Synopsis: |
Gene Autry's horse Champion is stolen by three escaped convicts, two of whom had been captured twenty years earlier by Gene's father, City Marshal Steve Autry (Gene in a dual role) after the theft of $30,000 from "Big Tim" Hanlon, a bonanza king. Gene traces the convicts to the ghost town where they stashed the money and finds schoolteacher Ruth Lambert, who claims to have talked to Big Tim, long believed dead. Loco John, a prospector, warns Gene that the killers are in the area. The convicts storm into town, cannot find the money and blame Gene. A slugfest follows, with Gene and his friends hunted through the spooky buildings. Gene recovers his horse and a gun and shoots down one of the convicts, while an angry Champion tramples another to death. Big Tim, who is really alive, recovers the stolen $30,000, leaving Gene and Ruth talking about romance.
