 Gene Autry is managing a gold mine in accordance with the terms expressed in the will of his old friend, "Pop" Erwin, who had refused to sell it over the years because it gave needed-employment and income to bankrupt ranchers. Half-interest in the mine was also left to a niece of Erwin s, Barbara Erwin, who prefers money to management. In order to achieve her mercenary goal, she employs two crooked-lawyers, Arnold and Fry, not realizing they had been trying to gain control of the mine for years. Eventually, Barbara sees the error of her ways and, with Gene s aid against the schemes of the lawyers and their henchmen, law, order and peace emerge.
