Bad guys plot to trick a newly arrived Eastern girl out of a ranch which belongs to her infant ward. Roy, of course, saves the ranch for the girl. Songs include "I'm Headin's for the Home Corral," "He's a No Good Son of a Gun," "Sandman Lullaby," "Song of the San Joaquin," and "I'm a Cowboy Rockefeller."
Score
Five original songs including 'I'm a Cowboy Rockefeller' — truly unhinged.
Acting
Gabby Hayes' sidekick energy steals every scene he's in.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Roy Rogers' second starring vehicle after his breakout in 'Under Western Stars,' proving audiences wanted singing cowboys during WWII escapism.
The 'modern western' tag wasn't marketing fluff — Republic Pictures deliberately updated Western tropes with cars, telephones, and contemporary references to attract urban audiences.
