Detailed Synopsis:
Gene Autry is in the middle of training Champion for the big Fourth of July Celebration race in Swiftwater when Sheriff Ewing rides in to deputize him. The sheriff needs extra help because the town is getting a little wild with holiday spirits. Gene’s partner Hap Wallace and jockey Corky ride off to town to enter Champ themselves. At the roadside camp of Chuck Evans, an outlaw who has come to Swiftwater for a big robbery, Hap is talked into racing Champ against Chuck’s horse Midnight. Hap bets Champ. Corky rides Champ, but the horse has been doctored, and so Chuck wins. Hap and Corky find out the race was fixed and are pursued by the outlaws. The jockey escapes and gets word to Gene, but Hap is captured. Gene has Corky fake a posse, while he rescues Hap. Later, the townspeople want to take Champ away from Chuck; Gene prevents it, but when Chuck calls him yellow, Gene whips him. On the day of the big race, Chuck sends his gang into town to blow the bank’s safe where sixty thousand dollars in Indian reservation funds are stored. Gene, sensing the outlaw’s plan, outwits them, captures Chuck after a chase and fight, and finally recovers his beloved “Wonder Horse.”
