Plot

edit

Roy Rogers is sent by the government to break up a cattle-rustling ring that's been terrorizing ranchers in Cheyenne. The rustlers are stealing cattle and then driving them to markets to sell. As Roy infiltrates the gang, he discovers that the operation is much more organized and sophisticated than initially thought. The rustlers are using trucks to transport the stolen cattle, a method that's more efficient and harder to trace.

Roy poses as a ranch hand to gather evidence against the gang. Along the way, he befriends Gabby Whittaker (played by George "Gabby" Hayes), a local rancher who becomes his sidekick. They work together to uncover the leader of the rustlers, who turns out to be a respected member of the community, hiding behind a facade of respectability. The film features a mix of action, romance, and musical numbers, typical of Roy Rogers films of that era. With the help of his horse Trigger and his friends, Roy manages to bring the rustlers to justice and restore peace to the area.
