Synopsis: |
Gene Autry returns home as the co-owner of a traveling medicine show after a five-year absence following a quarrel with his father. On their way to town, the troupe finds a badly wounded Harry Brooks, Gene's old friend, in an abandoned shack. Before he loses consciousness, Brooks gasps that he is not guilty of an unspecified crime. The sheriff's posse arrives, but Brooks has hidden. Gene believes Brooks has been framed when Blaze Williams, a member of the posse, returns later to shoot him. Gene hides the wounded man in the medicine wagon and starts for town. Meanwhile, Blaze tells his boss, Barney Craven, that Brooks is hidden in the wagon. In town, Gene learns that Brooks' crime is the murder of Gene's father. Rushing out to the wagon, Gene finds that Brooks is gone. Thinking his wife, Janet, may have taken him away, Gene heads to the Brooks ranch with his friends Smiley Burnette and McWade. Craven's men follow Gene. Janet and McWade convince Gene that Brooks is not guilty by telling him that Brooks sold water rights to Gene's father, which Craven wanted, so he killed the older man, framing Brooks. Gene captures Craven's men with the aid of one of his records, and then tricks Craven into rescuing them. Gene and his friends wait for Craven instead and fight to the finish. The culprits are thrown into jail, and Gene finds time to pay attention to the serious courtship of Janet's younger sister.
