Synopsis:
Former Texas Ranger Gene Autry receives a commission as lieutenant in the U.S. Cavalry and is ordered to report to Colonel Summeral at Fort Adobe. Troopers Frog Millhouse and Rufe Jones join him in the army. Because of Gene's personal charm and ability to sing, he wins the warm glances of Dixie, the Colonel's daughter. Lt. Cameron, a West Pointer, resents the newcomer, especially after Gene's troop beats his in a riding contest which carries the privilege of escorting Dixie to a dance. On the eve of the dance, Cameron is ordered into the interior to make peace with Indians on the warpath. He persuades the Colonel to send Gene along with the detachment. Gene, realizing that Cameron has led them into an ambush, takes charge and shoots his way out - losing one trooper in the battle. After this breach of discipline and a fight with the Colonel's interpreter, Duval, really an Indian spy, Gene and his pals are mustered out of the army. Gene, Frog, and Rufe return to the Rangers, round up the troublemakers, reveal Duval's duplicity to Colonel Summeral, and bring peace to the country. Gene is then reinstated in the affections of Dixie who promptly marries him at a colorful wedding arranged by the Rangers.
