Synopsis

Roy Rogers becomes involved when a young woman's inheritance is threatened by a dishonest business associate. Missing ownership papers make another friend's property vulnerable to the same scheme. With a circus and a film production bringing performers together, Roy seeks a way to expose the fraud and turn a public show into an opportunity for justice.

Historical context

The film brings several Republic Western performers into a story that acknowledges the business of making movies. Its gathering of familiar cowboy stars makes the musical entertainment part of the rescue plan as well as an attraction in its own right.
