      don s A little more in depth story makes this Roy Rogers western a notch above normal, which still isn't all that spectacular. The singing cowboy does plenty of that here, again trying to woo a lady. However, Roy's horse, Trigger, is kidnapped and held for ransom. There are a couple of fight scenes and a very small twist, but overall just an average movie. I enjoyed the title song. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite Roy Rogers films so far! Trigger is horse-napped?!?! Oh my!
