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.

Cast

Historical context
