Brief Synopsis:
Gene attempts to clear a young stage driver in the fatal holdup of a jewelry salesman carrying a fortune in precious stones.
 
Detailed Synopsis:
Three masked outlaws hold up a stagecoach, kill a guard, and rob a jewelry salesman of a fortune in valuable stones. The young stage driver, Johnny Peters, is suspected of being in league with the killers. Gene Autry believes Johnny is innocent, but needs tangible evidence to appease the angry mob, which is bent on lynching the young driver. Gene’s deputy Pat Buttram is a hypochondriac whose penchant for pills inadvertently finds him the unsuspecting holder of the stolen jewels. Complications arrive when Pat overhears a conversation that leads him to believe he is about to die. After a wild chase, Gene and Pat race back to town in time to save Johnny from the lynch-happy mob. Pat, thinking he is about to die anyway, tackles the heavies single-handedly and, through his comical bravado, overcomes them. Gene explains the misunderstood conversation to Pat, who, realizing that he might really have been killed, promptly faints.
