Edmund MacDonald doubles his trucking rate for cattle and his henchmen beat up an old rancher and take the cattle anyway. Paul Harvey, unofficial head of the cattlemen's association, doesn't know what to do. His foreman, Roy Rogers, suggests he hire Walter Catlett's riverboat. MacDonald isn't done. He can always try to burn down the boat, or rustle the cattle, but Catlett's daughter, Ruth Terry, eventually reaches agreement with Roy.
With Gene Autry off to war, this Roy Rogers vehicle is overloaded with comic actors: not only Catlett and Harvey, but regular Gabby Hayes, and Smiley Burnette -- I guess Republic had him on the payroll for Autry's oaters. There's also the Hall Johnson Choir as well as the usual songs from Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers. Director Joseph Kane keeps things from getting too busy, but Rogers' fans were certainly getting their money's worth!
