Thomas McCoy (Edmund MacDonald) works for a successful cattle buyer. But, due to mounting gambling debts, McCoy begins to overcharge his rancher clientele and take the profits for himself. Before long, these men get wise and plan to take their cattle to a different buyer. But that elicits speedy and bloody vengeance from McCoy and his cronies. At a loss, the desperate ranchers call upon trusty cowboy Gene Autry (Gene Autry) to step in and save the day.

A little above average Gene Autry western. Lively songs, an interesting plot and just the right amount of humor and action. Good supporting cast.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
