Plot
Cowboy balladeer Roy Rogers meets Sue Farnum, a girl returning from back East, who is cheated out of her inheritance by a greedy scoundrel and kidnapper named Ripley. As if things weren't bad enough, Roy's friend, ranch-owner Gabby Whitaker, has misplaced his title papers. Normally, this wouldn't matter, but since that villain, Ripley, files suit claiming ownership of the ranch, it does. Not only that, but he's got an air-tight case. Roy sets out to expose Ripley, win back Sue's money and locate Gabby's title papers.Cast
